Minneapolis Promise Zone-Economic Development Coordinator

President Obama created the Promise Zone initiative to address the challenges of deep and persistent poverty. The goal of the Minneapolis Promise Zone (MPZ) is to build capacity for the City and its partners to transform distressed communities in North Minneapolis, by increasing racial equity, access to safe, affordable housing, economic development; improving education, and community health & safety. The specific goals of the project are to 1) develop key strategies through working groups to meet initiative goals; 2) support alignment between community partners, city government and the private sector; and 3) build the capacity of the initiative to effectively deliver the services that comprise the strategic plan.
