I agree with the quote from CM Gary Schiff: "The city does not focus its resources there, but we've got development going on all over the rest of the city."
I have expressed similar concerns to Mayor Rybak as well. I firmly believe if the City of Minneapolis makes the Jordan Neighborhood a priority for ecomomic development it will have a significant impact. CITY AFFAIRS . VOL 24 #1187 . PUBLISHED 9/3/03 WHERE THE BUCK NEVER STOPS Where the Buck Never Stops In recent weeks, the Jordan neighborhood has received an unusually generous dollop of media attention. Vigils for the murdered have been held, police patrols stepped up, community activists heralded.
