New Public Art Coming to Creative Enterprise Zone! (Maybe)

So let's see...We are a thriving creative community, but it's been a while since we have celebrated that fact. To celebrate the completion of light rail in our neighborhood, I think we should put together some creative artwork to showcase our thriving area and welcome the many new developments that have arrived.

A sculpture in the grassy area of the Carleton Lofts
A mural about reading for the Minnesota Literacy Council
An interactive artwork for the Avalon school students
A collaborative outdoor place for the Minnesota Council of Nonprofits staff to sit
Planters, banners, yarn bombing? Who knows.

Gets you thinking doesn't it? Send me your ideas.

Developments continue in Raymond/University Despite COVID

More apartments are planned for 2225 University Avenue (next to the McDonald's) This is the former site of Paster Enterprises office building. We are excited to see more density for the neighborhood and more residents to support our local restaurants and retail.

Congratulations to Dave Anderson!

One of Update Company's long time tenants is awarded a Bush Fellowship. Dave Anderson, from All Parks Alliance for Change is one of the 2020 Bush Fellows, 24 visionary leaders who are thinking big about how to solve problems and shape a better future for their communities. The Bush Fellowship is an investment in individual leaders. It provides Fellows with up to $100,000 over 12 to 24 months to pursue formal and informal learning experiences that help them develop the skills, attributes and relationships they need to become more effective, equitable leaders who can drive change in their communities and region as a whole. The Fellowship is distinctive in its flexibility, allowing Fellows to articulate what they need to become more effective and agile leaders.

Liking these benches

I like the benches that Jack and Jim crafted for our building at 661 LaSalle. They look great, and should last a long time outside.
