A plan to move forward with a major redevelopment of Minneapolis Upper Harbor Terminal, a 48-acre site formerly home to a barge terminal, has been postponed after environmentalists raised concerns about its effect on the Mississippi River.
Community Members for Environmental Justice (CMEJ) and the Minnesota Center for Environmental Advocacy (MCEA) sent a letter to the City Council earlier this month demanding an environmental review before any action on the plan.

The Sutton Hoo excavation of 1939 was as important to Britain s creation myth as Wood Quay would be to Dublin s.

Ahmed Muhumud, one of the owners of Midtown Eye Clinic, recently moved into space at the Midtown Global Market on E. Lake Street.
The clinic s former location, in a building a block away on Chicago Avenue, was destroyed during the riots in May following George Floyd s death. The owner told us he plans to rebuild but not when, Muhumud said.
His decision to move into the Midtown Global Market is part of a $2.3 million recovery plan developed by the owners of the market. They are creating space for riot-displaced businesses and subsidizing rent for those with capital limitations. We ve signed a long-term lease and there is no better place for us than the Global Market, Muhumud said. This is a tough time for our businesses and others along E. Lake Street. But we want to be part of the Lake Street business community and we believe it will come back.
The Upper Harbor Terminal is a 48-acre site in north Minneapolis that used to operate as a barge shipping terminal. The city said the barge terminal operations ceased at the end of 2014 ahead of the closure of the Upper St. Anthony Falls lock in 2015. The current operation on site is outdoor storage of commodities that are trucked to and from the site.
The city said the current
redevelopment planning process for Upper Harbor Terminal began in 2015. The current estimated development cost is $300 million, which does not include city infrastructure and park costs.
Developers could turn it into a multi-use site including a 19-acre park, a community performing arts center, a health and wellness hub and housing.
