2050 Comprehensive Plan Housing Growth Strategy
Summary
Eagan must plan for 4,600 new housing units by 2050 under Met Council forecasts. Staff propose putting nearly all growth in the city's special areas, with densities up to 80 units per acre, and council agreed — while urging attention to attainable housing for middle-income buyers and flexibility if growth projections prove too rosy.
