FORT LAUDERDALE, FLA. (WSVN) – Officials gathered outside of a new apartment building to cut the ribbon and bury a time capsule to celebrate the occasion.<\/p>\n
Fort Lauderdale officials unveiled The Arcadian, an apartment building with 502 units as part of a plan to bring more affordable housing to the city\u2019s Sistrunk District.<\/p>\n
The building will also have businesses operating out of the first floor.<\/p>\n
Commissioner Steven Glassman said the new housing will not only bring foot traffic to nearby sidewalks, it will also help build community between residents.<\/p>\n
\u201cHousing policy is not abstract. It\u2019s about whether people can live near their jobs, their families and the community they already call home. And this isn\u2019t a future promise. It\u2019s happening now in our city,\u201d said Glassman.<\/p>\n
The city also put together mementos to mark the historic moment in a time capsule buried near the apartment building.<\/p>\n
Among the items placed inside were a gold-plated seal, photos of the current commission and city-themed stamps.<\/p>\n
Commissioners plan to open the capsule in 25 years.<\/p>\n
