Revised Plan for Gilman’s Pointe

Save Our Neighborhood!
Date for Public Hearing will be set soon.
LDG Development Group (https://www.ldgdevelopment.com/) is proposing a 199-unit apartment project at the corner of Ridgeway Ave and Westport Rd. Ridgeway Neighbors and Friends is a neighborhood group opposed to this project for a number of reasons, including: increased traffic, design not compatible with the surrounding neighborhood homes, and inappropriate density for the area.
The project has been through one Land Development and Transportation committee meeting to determine if the technical issues have been met. There were some issues, but it was moved forward and a Public Hearing was scheduled for June 26. However, new objections were raised and the Public Hearing was canceled. If LDG corrects the issues the proposal will have to go through a new LDT committee meeting. If the project is then allowed to proceed, a new Public Hearing will be scheduled no sooner than two weeks later.
