Frogtown & Summit-University Forum: Development Without Displacement

7/12/2019

0 Comments

 
Picture
The Frogtown Neighborhood and Summit U Planning Council will be collaborating throughout the summer and beyond on an anti-displacement vision for the future of our two communities.

We see the avalanche of development unfolding around us—cranes in the sky, new businesses, buildings, and apartment complexes emerging, the overall value of our community increasing, and as a result, friends, family, and establishments that have called our community home for decades, disappearing.

Things are changing and changing quickly.
Our July forum will center on how we, the community, can be a part of that change.
How do we advocate for ourselves? How do we collaborate and communicat effectively?
How do we educate? How do we sculpt policy? How do we make decisions as a collective?

Mychal Batson, local artist & designer, will give a presentation outlining our effort and facilitate further discussion. ​​

Tuesday, July 23, 2019 at 6 PM – 8 PM
St. Paul City Middle School
643 Virginia St, Saint Paul, Minnesota 55103
