Are there natural areas remaining in Andover that need to be protected?
Yes. Approximately 40% of the city remains undeveloped. However, The Metropolitan Council forecasts the city’s population will grow to 39,000 people with the addition of as many as 4,000 new homes by the year 2020. There is presently an opportunity to preserve unique natural areas from development for the enjoyment of residents now and in the years to come.
