The Press Citizen wasn't at the Community Forum on Wednesday night, but they are covering some of the consequences of the event today:

U.H. project discussion revived

Developer puts new One University Place scenarios on table

The Melrose Avenue project known as One University Place, the subject of a long-running debate in University Heights, is back up for discussion after nearly two years of dormancy, but this time the developer is bringing a new approach.

After his residential and commercial project failed to gain city approval in the face of a vocal opposition and a divided City Council in 2011, developer Jeff Maxwell is now putting forward two new plans for public consideration, in addition to his previous vision.
The three scenarios for the high-profile site, where the St. Andrew Presbyterian Church currently stands, were discussed by more than 100 residents, or one-tenth of University Heights’ population, Wednesday night at a community focus meeting hosted by the Metropolitan Planning Organization of Johnson County.
