City seeks final feedback on Framework for Neighborhood funding

Neighborhood projects such as the Midtown Farmers’ Market and Corcoran’s Youth Murals are an important part of life in the Corcoran neighborhood. But these projects would not have been possible, and will not likely continue, without a stable, committed, and sufficient baseline of funding for Minneapolis neighborhood organizations. For the last twenty years, the Neighborhood Revitalization Program (NRP) has been this baseline. On August 20 at 5:00 pm, the City Council will hold a public hearing in its chambers (3rd floor City Hall) to take feedback on the proposed Framework for the Future of neighborhood funding, bringing to a close an extended and contentious public debate. Read the final draft of the Framework here, and submit comments by e-mail or by testifying at the hearing. Read CNO’s reaction to the Framework here, and also click here to read an alternative proposal created by a citywide coalition of Minneapolis residents called Neighbors4NRP.

Have a hand in the final mural of CNO’s project with Elise Kyllo

On Thursday, August 21, everyone is invited to help create the 13th of 13 murals created by Elise Kyllo and over 400 volunteers in the Corcoran neighborhood. We’ll be painting on a residential garage in the alley at 3439 24th Ave S from 4:00 pm to dark. The theme of the mural will address the problems plastic waste creates for the environment, and what we can do about it. As always, no art experience is necessary. Please join us.
