Aspen City Council heard an updated proposal Tuesday night for the Aspen Meadows affordable housing project, with Mayor Rachael Richards reopening public comment in response to the changes.

The proposal is to construct affordable housing spread over the Aspen Meadows campus for the Aspen Institute, Aspen Music Festival and School and the Aspen Center for Physics, according to an executive summary submitted before the regular meeting. Based on feedback previously provided at council's Feb. 24 and March 10 meetings, updates were presented in order to accommodate concerns around the proposed housing units on North Street and the Aspen Center for Physics, in addition to the proposed 4th Street entrance, among other topics.

Josh Frieman, chair of the Board of the Aspen Center for Physics and a 40-year volunteer there, took the lead to address the particular concerns surrounding the center's proposal.
