Well, I guess it was just an oversight that Nokomis did not get anything..
:+] !
Ron Edwards has some good archive writings on Heritage Park - McCormick
Baron
The Minneapolis Story... The Reuse Center seems like a lot and I have
always
wondered where the Franklin money came from....well deserved and needed!
Way to go Michelle! This was very interesting...

The report alleges that 86% of funding for the North area was received by
White people. With no disrespect to the recipients, I am now asking how
the
monies given created jobs in the impoverished communities? Why was so much
money
given to McCormick Baron for Heritage Park (the old Northside projects)
when
there was federal monies paid out in the lawsuit to rebuild in that area?
Who is
the person, on the Civil Rights Board, that received Empowerment Zone
monies?
I was told the amount that person received, $200,000.00, but not the name
of
the individual. Are any of the listed business “non-profit?” How can a
citizen
get a copy of the proposal used to get the Empowerment Zone funding from
the
federal government? How many organizations on the list, who received
funds,
have ties to certain city council members? I think these are questions
for the
federal government or perhaps the FBI.
A special thanks for the emails acknowleging my past post regarding the
Empowerment Zone funding. It was because of those post that I was given a
copy of
the Civil Rights Commission Report.
