Dave Gagne - People who do cool things - Part 1

Urban Boatbuilders, Inc.
Dave Gagne helped found Urban Boatbuilders in 1995. A nonprofit organization, they have served over 1700 kids, teaching them wood working skills as they build boats. The kids in this program also learn problem solving skills as they take a project from start to finish. The wooden boats and canoes are beautiful! They will build you a custom boat or sell you one they've made. Dave is really making a positive difference in the lives of young people in our community.

Urban Boatbuilders is located in the Midway Shopping Center. 651-644-9225

Platform Apartments Really Taking Shape!

The construction site is very busy at University and Hampden where the Platform Apartments are under construction.  This is going to be a great addition to the neighborhood - replacing two blighted buildings - turning the corner into a beautiful place to live.   A roof top patio will be a great amenity, as will the underground parking lot.   We are excited for our new neighbors to move in this fall.  St. Anthony Park is really growing - adding many new neighbors close to University.  Hopefully this development will bring a new restaurant!
