The City of Brooklyn Park has prepped an update to the vital Alternative Urban Areawide Review (AUAR) for the NorthPark Business Center, opening the floor for public insight until the end of February. As per a bulletin on February 13, 2024, locals have a chance to weigh in on the future of the 227-acre business hub, nestled between US 169 and Winnetka Avenue N.

The sprawling space already boasts 13 industrial beehives either standing or in progress, signaling a growth spurt since the original AUAR took shape in 2018. According to the city's blueprint, Scenario 2024-D paints a picture of a buzzing enclave with 2,601,000 square feet of development.

Those looking to snag a glimpse of the update can do so electronically, as the city has made it accessible online for all to peruse. It's a chance to peek into Brooklyn Park's development playbook and see where business and urban planning collide.

Amber Turnquest, the city's principal planner, is the go-to for public comments, which can be funneled to her email, [email protected], through February 28, 2024, at 4:00 PM. The AUAR Update is the roadmap for the NorthPark Business Center's journey into the future.
