North Mississippi Regional Park Master Plan and Programmatic Plan and Promotion
Created a new master plan for the park, with extensive community engagement. The master plan will include physical improvements to the park and will meet all Metropolitan Council requirements for master plans. In addition, the master plan will include a programmatic vision for the park, created in collaboration with MPRB environmental staff. Throughout the master plan and programmatic plan process, MPRB will promote the park both through community engagement and special events, both inside the park and throughout the north side of Minneapolis.
