Dear Appointed Members, Director and Elected Officials;
This letter is in support of RISEUP Recovery Hastings, Redeeming Lives, Restoring Dignity, in the
purchase and application or Providence House Special Use Permit for property located at 303 5th Street
East, Hastings, Minnesota 55033, Plat Identification 19-32150-31-060.
Rise Up Recovery is a Recovery Community Organization serving the Hastings and surrounding trade
area, in Lakeville and Burnsville. They provide Peer Recovery support Services, Advocacy and
Community Support and Recognition, in collaboration and synchronization, with United Way of
Hastings, the Dakota County Task Force and Dakota County Community Corrections. They believe in
and value “ALL” paths to recovery, of which, is greatly needed,, with our community. Their
fundamental values are grounded in Christianity values and each individual, as a “Person”. On a
journey of “living, change and transformation. They have a “Recovery First” value” system that places
the utmost value and belief of each individuals ability, to achieve and maintain long term recovery and
sobriety.. They know, because they live it every hour, day and year, 24/7/365.
Since acquiring ownership of 507 Vermllion Street, on Christmas Eve, December 24, 2021, by “Quit
Deed”, thorough the unselfishlessly generously of myself, for “FREE”, they became, an owner of
“Prime” Commercial property, on the Gateway into the City of Hastings, well worth three hundred
thousand fifty dollars, $350,000 and with acquiring 303 5th Street, their net property value will be seven
hundred sixty seven thousand dollars, $767,000. Coupled with the number of additional employees,
they will stimulate the local economic growth of the City and Community as a byproduct of location
increases in consumer spending. The more money consumers spend on goods and services, the more
capital local businesses will have, specially the Downtown Business Business. to greater growth,
development of larger product lines and services offers.
THEFORE; let us not make, the same mistake, when I attempted to purchase Caturia Funeral Home, as
a Community Gathering Place, in which, he neighborhood rebelled against me, in an organized effort to
deny me, my Mission, Vision, Objective and Core Values,, of which was supported by he Planning
Commission and City Council and later sold, unto another party, to be a “Residential Facility” for
Recovery, of which the City of Hastings could not deny it, as it was against the Minnesota State Laws
and Statutes.
