“Shaping the Future of the East Downtown District”
Downtown Minneapolis is in the throws of unprecedented growth. This is now undisputed.  But, how will the growth be stewarded such that it transforms the built environment into a home for tens of thousands of residents while playing host for tens of millions? Such a dialectic tension is undoubtedly on the mind of those who live downtown and on the riverfront. At this MDNA meeting Dan Collison, the newly appointed Executive Director of the East Downtown Council (EDC), will discuss the new role of the EDC alongside the Minneapolis Downtown Council, introduce a new East Downtown Development task force, and frame some of the critically important convergence points that residential, business, and civic leaders will need to work on together in order to ensure our part Downtown Minneapolis is built beautifully, holistically, and with 21st century sustainable practices in mind.
