[Mpls] Mpls as International Case Study

[Tim Erickson]

I am writing this email from Porto Allegre, Brazil where I am 
attending a four day workshop on citizen participation in local 
budgeting. I thought that my friends in Minneapolis might be 
interested to know, that after lunch (here in Brazil) - a researcher 
from the Kennedy School of Government will be presenting a paper on 
the Minneapolis Neighborhood Redevelopment Program as one of six case 
studies being considered at this international meeting.

There are about 40 participants at this workshop representing 18 
different countries.

I'm curious about how the community activists on the ground in 
Minneapolis feel about the NRP program being held up as an 
international example? Also, can anyone update me on the future of 
the program?

I'm a little disappointed, that don't know more about the NRP program 
from my neighboring city. Any comments?

Best wishes,
Tim Erickson
