The Development of Downtown Minneapolis
Iric Nathanson, author of Minneapolis in the Twentieth Century, comments on the longstanding public-private partnerships in downtown Minneapolis in his recent piece for the Downtown Journal. He notes that these unique partnerships support projects such as the Shubert Theater, which is being renovated into a center for dance that will open in 2011, and they continue to strengthen the “strong urban core that continues to serve as the economic anchor for this entire region.”
