Check out What's in the Works for the Mill District and Neighboring Areas Along the River

Last night Cordelia Pierson, Executive Director of the Minneapolis Riverfront Corporation, and Scott Vreeland, Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board Commissioner, lead an interactive presentation with residents of the Bridgewater Lofts regarding organizations and initiatives related to property along and near the Mississippi River. Much of the information covered directly affects our Mill District neighborhood. 

Topics discussed during the meeting ranged from status of the I35W Memorial (work is scheduled to begin around April 1) to Gold Medal Park's future (when the current lease expires) to plans for the Fuji Ya site (there are 7 historical ruins there).

Following are website links pertaining to these and related topics:
