> within the city for NRP?

> While TIF may no longer be a source of funding for NRP, there must be
> other options for keeping this internationally recognized program alive.
> If NRP is truly considered a top city priority, I am confident that city
> leadership working with Minneapolis neighborhoods, businesses,
> institutions and others can find alternative funding sources.
>
> I think it is imperative that alternative funding be found and quickly.
> Minneapolis needs NRP.
