Yes but the Allina jobs (which have people attached to them) are coming from Golden Valley, as I recall. These people are not going to move in, they're justgoing to commute. They're not going to switch banks or schools for their kids. I would even be willing to bet that (by and large) they won't leave the building for lunch since they'll have the little food-court thing right inside.
[TB] Actually they are coming from a number of locations around the metro area, some from Loring Park (the old hospital site). Allina wanted to consolitate into one location. I'd rather have it in Minneapolis than somewhere else.
The jobs leaving Loring Park leave an area of approximately 2 city blocks (one just a surface parking lot) to be redeveloped. Planning is already in process for what should be a positive addition for this neighborhood. Phillips isn't the only winner here.
