A West Lafayette housing complex is moving forward.
The Tippecanoe Area Plan Commission unanimously approved a proposal to construct a 266-unit development where Cumberland Avenue ends west of U.S 52.
Amy Glenn is against the project.
She lives near the proposed site and thinks the space could serve a better purpose.
"We have plenty of market saturation when it comes to available housing and rental units here in the area," said Glenn. "I think better use for our community is to develop business and to bring growth for jobs rather than more housing."
The complex will include a variety of housing options such as single-level duplexes, townhouses, and cottage-style buildings.
"We have an interest in making sure there is a balanced mixed of uses near our activity centers, so that not everyone is dependent on an automobile to get to where they want to go," said APC Assistant Director Ryan O'Gara. "This project accomplishes that."
Developers say they are intended to be an alternative to student housing.
The plan now goes to the West Lafayette City Council for a vote.
