The City of Aurora is planning to construct a housing development on the 21-acre parcel south of CSAH 100 and west of Erie Street. The project will be broken into two phases; Phase I will create approximately 12 – ¼ acre lots and Phase II will create an additional 26 – ¼ acre lots, totaling 36 new lots for new homes in the City of Aurora. This project will include replacing the existing watermain and sanitary sewer utilities behind the existing Knuti Drive and Erie Street properties as part of the Knuti Drive Utility Project.

The City received a $90,000 grant through the Iron Range Resources & Rehabilitation Board (IRRRB) to fund the preliminary and final design costs. A $300,000 St. Louis County CDBG Grant was also awarded to the City for this project.  Additional funding sources are being pursued to assist with overall construction costs.
