.By David Gordon, associate editor The clash between Mayo Clinic’s expansion needs and Eau Claire’s insufficient supply of housing for the elderly and disabled has so far provided no indication of common ground to resolve the competing interests. A mid-September meeting between Mayo officials and representatives of groups concerned about the housing shortage failed to produce agreement on how to deal with the housing needs of the 44 tenants at Luther Lakeside Apartments, 1422 Whipple St. The location is across the street from the west side of Mayo’s main campus in Eau Claire and lies between it and the Chippewa River. The discussion revolved around the impending end of a 40-year contract between Mayo and HUD which made the apartment units on the property available at a federally subsidized rate. Rental rates were usually capped at 30% of the renter’s monthly income. For more details on this clash of two valid community needs, please click on the headline....
