Dakota County Community Development Agency officials and Eagan City Council members did their best Tuesday night to assuage the fears of a group of Lemay Lake residents worried about a 50-unit affordable housing facility proposed for the area. Neighbors living near the proposed site of the workforce housing facility expressed concerns over the increased traffic, crime and crowding the project could bring to the neighborhood.
