Scherer Bros Site Parcel ‘D’ development open house

The Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board will have a public open house, Wednesday, Aug. 31, 6-7 p.m., to get feedback on a community engagement plan and developer solicitation process for the Scherer Bros Site Parcel ‘D’ development. The open house will be at the MPRB Headquarters, 2117 West River Road. The Scherer Bros Site is located directly north of the Plymouth Avenue Bridge along the Northeast Minneapolis riverfront. Parcel ‘D’ runs along the north and east side of the property.

Initial feedback on the proposed process from community stakeholders will be incorporated into a “Community Engagement Plan” and “Request for Qualifications” that will be used to select a private development team for the design, construction, operation, and management of the Parcel ‘D’ portion of the former Scherer Bros site. Development of this site is intended as an activator for the future Hall’s Island Park and as a way of connecting local businesses and organizations to the park and riverfront. For more information, visit www.minneapolisparks.org.
