We envision North Minneapolis as a thriving, inclusive community that embodies the principles of the Beloved Economy—an economy rooted in equity, sustainability, and shared prosperity spurred by the Blue Line Extension. In this opportunity economy, every resident has access to quality jobs, affordable housing, and robust public services, with community wealth-building and environmental stewardship at the core of all economic activity. 

​

To reverse current negative conditions, trends and outcomes in North Minneapolis and throughout the BLE community, the following community-led process promotes community stabilization, empowerment, and development catalyzed by BLE investment.
