MP boardIn reviewing the MPRB's agenda materials for the May 18, 2011 Park Board meeting, one wonders why the Park Board would want to commit valuable Park Board resources to acquire a minority interest in a risky hydroelectric joint venture with an unknown third party in a business the Park Board knows nothing about. Furthermore, significant questions remain about the financial feasibility of the project.An important Minneapolis Park Board meeting is taking place on Wednesday, May 4. The Park Board is scheduled to vote on the Crown Hydro project, proposing to build a Hydro Electric Power Plant in Mill Ruins Park. Attached is a backgrounder on this project.
As this non-linear MR|DI process unfolds, beginning with the six committee and public meetings this week, Upper Riverfront objectives and next steps will be further defined, communicated and moved through. We hope you’ll join us on this 5.5 mile journey.The award recipients are Amos Deinard in Kenwood, Brad Pass in Phillips, Jessica Hill at Lake Hiawatha Center, Rodney Lossow in Longfellow, Steve Young in Fulton Neighborhood and Pershing/Linden Hills. and the Youthline Gang Prevention Program mentors in Folwell, Hawthorne, Jordan, and McKinley Neighborhoods.
The idea remains as controversial as it was when first proposed 20 years ago - a hydroelectric plant at the foot of the Stone Arch Bridge on the Mississippi River in downtown Minneapolis. Opponents don't want a commercial enterprise ruining the natural beauty of the city's birthplace, an area that now includes Mill Ruins Park. Supporters argue .. Reconnect the broader community with the river and provide opportunities for community members to substantively engage in the creation of the design development strategy and contribute their knowledge of the river and neighborhoods.
