The MHNA Board of Directors will be considering two updates to its Neighborhood Revitalization Plan (NRP) and voting on them at our June 16, 2020 board meeting.
For plan modifications under $25,000, the City of Minneapolis requires a vote by the board of directors. Modifications over $25,000 require a vote of the organization's membership.
Questions about this process can be directed to Chris Lautenschlager, MHNA Executive Director.
