Minneapolis planners say they have discovered a way to keep public ownership of all the land in a project to redevelop an old Mississippi River port into a residential and commercial hub on the city s North Side.
A draft master plan previously called for the city and Park Board to retain most but not all of the 48-acre Upper Harbor Terminal land, with developers paying ground-leasing fees to construct buildings on it. One key parcel of the terminal project was slated to pass into private hands: the polarizing 10,000-seat First Avenue concert venue at the project s core.
