Next Wednesday, November 16, GiveMN.org’s Give to the Max Day, you can!
Wednesday, November 16th, is Give to the Max Day. Contribute to the Midtown Farmers Market and take part in the The Great Minnesota Give Together, the largest giving day in the nation! Your gift will support a vibrant, community-driven market that continues to set the standard for accessibility.
By giving to the Midtown Farmers Market through our Give to the Max Page you could be randomly chosen to win a Golden Ticket–every hour, from the stroke of midnight on November 16 until 11:59 pm that night, $1,000 will be given to a random donor’s charity. That could go a long way toward helping us make the tenth season of the Market the best one ever.

Developer will pitch revised plan for market site.
November 3, 2011
The public is invited to a special meeting of the Corcoran Neighborhood Organization’s Land Use & Transportation / Housing committees on Thursday, November 3 at 6:30 p.m. at 2225 East Lake Street, Room #140. The agenda includes a presentation on plans for redevelopment of the 6.5-acre 2225 East Lake, owned by Minneapolis Public Schools (MPS). Following the presentation, the development team will field audience questions.
In December 2010, the MPS board voted to support L&H Station Group’s concept redevelopment plan for the property, a plan that included space for the Midtown Farmers Market (which has operated on the site for nine seasons) and addressed other community objectives. At the Nov. 3 meeting, L&H Station Group will present revised plans in anticipation of approaching the City Planning Commission and Minneapolis City Council for approvals to break ground on the first of several anticipated phases of construction.
Efforts by residents and local government to shape the future of 2225 East Lake extend back over 10 years. Learn more about redevelopment objectives including theMidtown Farmers Market Program, Sustainability Performance Goals, and more at theCity of Minneapolis development page for this property, and Corcoran’s Land Use & Transportation page. Please contact Eric Gustafson at CNO with questions about the Nov. 3 meeting.
