As if to symbolically put the past behind it, in 2011 the city administration began designating the overall Rolling Hills-Southside project as “Southside,” with the Rolling Hills portion “Southside East” and the existing Southside neighborhood “Southside West.”
Southside East has three phases. The first is 132 apartments, the second, 79; the third is yet to be planned. Southside West costs are presented as a single package. As presented to the City Council June 7, the city’s projected total Southeast East cost as $16,815,179 over five years; that for Southside West, $11,565,746.
