The City of Minneapolis is conducting a historic resource survey of the Elliott Park, Loring Park and Lowry Hill East neighborhoods to identify properties that may be worthy of preservation, promotion and recognition. Over 400 properties have been identified and will be included in the Minneapolis historic resource inventory which is an on-going database of potential historic properties. The survey, conducted by Mead and Hunt, Inc., is nearly complete. A draft of the survey results will be presented to the neighborhoods and recommendations will be discussed. |

More: |
The historic resource survey is an essential tool for preservation and planning for local government, neighborhood groups and individuals. The survey helps planners, economic development coordinators, elected officials and local preservation advocates better understand the wealth of historic properties in Minneapolis. The effort to complete a city-wide survey began in 2000; expected completion date is 2010. For more information, contact Carol Ahlgren at 612 673 2847, or by email, carol.ahlgren@minneapolismn.gov.
