Affordable redevelopment of 7517 Humboldt Avenue South
The old Southview Baptist Church site could finally see new life with 92 apartments, 19 of them affordable at 50% of area median income. The big question: whether city leaders will still put public money (TIF) into the project, which would likely cost more than the $2.685 million approved for the failed prior plan.

Nicollet Avenue reconstruction this summer
The city locked in $2 million in state funding for rebuilding Nicollet Avenue, thanks to advocacy by local legislators and city staff. That's a major infrastructure win for a busy corridor.
