    (Resilient Communities Project (RCP), University of Minnesota, 2016) Dressel, Elizabeth; Omar, Mustafa; Showalter, Elizabeth; Staley, Jared; Strain, Sarah
    This project was completed as part of the 2016-2017 Resilient Communities Project (rcp.umn.edu) partnership with the City of Brooklyn Park. The City wanted to update its Stable Neighborhood Action Plan (SNAP) to evaluate the impact of neighborhood redevelopment and other improvements since the original SNAP was created in 2005. City of Brooklyn Park project lead Emily Carr worked with a team of students in PA 8203 to engage with stakeholders and community leaders and analyze available data to assess key economic and social changes in the SNAP area.

    Staying on Eat Street Strategies to support community businesses on Nicollet Avenue and Lake Street
    (2018-05-08) Strait, Jen; Prideaux, Michael; Goodwin, Matthew; Dressel, Elizabeth
    Eat Street is a cultural corridor home to many thriving small businesses owned by immigrants and persons of color. While not all Eat Street restaurant owners are immigrants, the immigrant experience is central to the Eat Street story. “It’s a mixed culture here. It’s not one kind of people. Different position, different cultures, and different people. You have all kinds, all kinds of people” (Eat Street at 20, n.d., Harry Singh, owner of Harry Singh’s Original Caribbean Restaurant). The focus of this semester long research project is to provide targeted strategies that the City of Minneapolis Community Planning and Economic Development (CPED) department can take to support the immigrant and person of color owned businesses along Eat Street as they plan and prepare for projected economic revitalization with the potential reopening of Nicollet Avenue at Lake Street.
