Upper Harbor
The redevelopment of Upper Harbor in North Minneapolis provides a once-in-a-generation opportunity to create a large-scale, publicly-owned asset that will uplift the community and foster economic growth.
This redevelopment project is guided by a restorative approach to racial justice, reconnecting the Northside community to the river with community-focused development and the creation of parkland.
