Minneapolis residents are invited to come and share their visions for the future of George Floyd Square during a "dinner dialogue" hosted by the City and engagement team. The event set for March 28 at the Sabathani Community Center will mark the beginning of a series of workshops aimed at shaping a community-centered vision for the area. Partners in this initiative include architectural design firm 4RM+ULA and the Cultural Wellness Center, who are both versed in addressing community challenges with culture-based solutions. Attendees can expect food and refreshments and are encouraged to RSVP for the 6-8 p.m. gathering, according to the Minneapolis, City of Lakes.
The engagement team is set to discuss and collect input on several key points during the dinner. These include establishing values to serve as the foundation for the redevelopment of George Floyd Square and criteria for the future use of the Peoples Way site. A critical part of the conversation will be deciding who will ideally own and oversee the space in alignment with community interests. The dialogue aims to not only gather ideas but also forge a connection between the citizens and the city's plans for change.
The March 28 event at Sabathani Community Center will also serve as an opportunity for the city to update the community on the work done so far regarding George Floyd Square. As the team works dutifully to reflect the city's commitment to culturally and racially centered values, they'll share the progress of past engagements and dialogues with the community, as per the Minneapolis, City of Lakes.
