Your feedback helps us prioritize what to improve next.
The two former senior-center properties will remain under public ownership while Big Lake considers future business or mixed redevelopment, potentially after rezoning and combining parcels. No adjacent private property will be acquired now. Staff will study changes that could make commercial development easier, including building heights that could reach 199 feet in certain districts, while keeping current single-family residential standards.
