Minneapolis NSP1
On March 31, 2009, the Minneapolis City Council Community Development Committee approved the award of NSP funds to applicants responding to Minneapolis request for proposals (RFP) for the purchase and rehabilitation of foreclosed and/or abandoned properties. In the next one to four years, NSP resources will provide for the estimated demolition of 200 blighted structures, acquisition of 120 properties, and rehabilitation of 175 properties in Minneapolis neighborhoods hardest hit by foreclosures, primarily in North, Northeast and South Central Minneapolis. Foreclosed and/or abandoned homes and residential properties will be acquired strategically near existing public investment and community corridors to maximize the neighborhood and market impact of NSP reinvestment.
