CPED-Planning is conducting a historic resource survey in following neighborhoods: Windom, Kenny and Armatage to assess the potential for historic properties. The City was first surveyed for historic resources in the 1970s and many of today’s designated landmarks and historic districts are a result of the original survey. Since 2001, CPED has conducted a re-survey of historic resources in Minneapolis that has been funded by grants from the Minnesota Historical Society and matched by City dollars. The City has undertaken the re-survey because the aging of properties, changing attitudes about which types of historic resources need to be identified, e.g. historic landscapes, cultural and ethnic group resources. The survey will help achieve the City’s goal of documenting historic resources throughout the entire city over a ten-year period, which is scheduled for completion in 2011.

The purpose of the survey is to:

§  Identify unknown historic properties;

§  Recommend properties for further study;

§  Make informed decisions about the significance and protection of historic resources;

§  Develop goals and strategies for preservation as well as neighborhood planning.

The first public meeting on this project will be held on:

Wednesday February 23, 2011 6:30 – 8:00 p.m. * Kenny Recreation Center: 1328 58^th Street

The purpose of this first meeting is to introduce the survey project and offer an opportunity for the community to provide information and ideas about historic resources within the survey area. More information can be found online at: www.ci.minneapolis.mn.us/hpc/

Armatage Residents;

Last night, the Minneapolis City Council passed the 2011 City Budget. The passage of the 2011 City Budget has significant implications for neighborhoods. Over the next several weeks, the Neighborhood and Community Relations (NCR) Department, the Neighborhood and Community Engagement Commission (NCEC) and the Neighborhood Revitalization Program (NRP) will be further assessing the impact of the budget action on individual neighborhoods. In the meantime, I wanted to reassure all neighborhoods that there will be operating support for your work in 2011.
