Weigh in on the future of the Hi-Minn corridor at NNO
The Minnehaha-Hiawatha corridor from the Midtown Greenway to Minnehaha Parkway has received increasing attention in recent years. This spring Hennepin County launched a two-year effort to develop a Strategic Development Framework for the corridor to guide revitalization investments. As part of National Night Out, the Community Advisory Committee for this effort partnered with the Minneapolis Police Department to provide NNO event planners with a one-question survey for NNO attendees. At your NNO event, please ask about the survey, give your input, and encourage others to do the same. To learn more visit www.minnehaha-hiawatha.com.
