The Hennepin County Board approved the Penn Avenue Community Works Project, which will be located along Penn Avenue between Highway 55 and 44th Ave. N. The project aims to further stimulate economic recovery, beautification, livability and job creation in North Minneapolis. 

This stretch of Penn Avenue is the home of major housing and neighborhood activity centers providing commercial services and employment opportunities to surrounding neighborhoods. The project is strategically located to serve as a focal point for redevelopment in North Minneapolis and assist recovery from the destructive forces of the 2011 tornado, the foreclosure crisis and the current economic recession. 

A plan for the project will be developed throughout the next four months, including project goals, participating organizations, an organizational structure, work plan and budget.
