New urbanist town planned in Ada, Michigan

ROBERT STEUTEVILLE JAN. 1, 2000

A new urbanist town was planned in Ada, Michigan, to be built on a 536-acre farm and former gravel quarry. Most of the 800 units are planned to be built in the former quarry, with the 300-acre farm remaining mostly open space. The project, designed by John Anderson and Philip Bess, also includes a small amount of neighborhood commercial, some live/work units, and civic buildings. The developer is D.P. Fox/Mountain Ridge LLC.

Robert Steuteville, F-CNU, is editor of Public Square: A CNU Journal and senior communications adviser for the Congress for the New Urbanism.
