The City of Bloomington Planning Commission is opening the floor to the public for a hearing on a proposed major modification to the final site and building plans of an existing warehouse. The addition is poised to change the landscape at 1900 W 96th Street, with the public hearing slated for August 29, 2024, at 6:00 PM. The meeting will transpire within the civic heart of Bloomington, the Council Chambers at the Bloomington Civic Plaza, and will extend its reach electronically as Minnesota law allows.
Stakeholders and citizens are encouraged to engage in the process by reviewing the information and supporting materials provided ahead of the hearing at www.blm.mn/notices. The options for participation are manifold, attend in person for a direct dialogue or watch BTV on Comcast channels 859 or 14, alternatively, stream the proceedings online via the city's official website or their YouTube channel. For those who prefer, or require, a voice in the room without being present, phone participation is made available, with the long-distance call caveat.
With a measure of consideration for process and time, those wishing to submit testimony via email or voicemail need to do so by the cut-off of noon on the appointed day of the hearing. Submissions should succinctly include the agenda item of focus to ensure clear and efficient communication with the Planning Commission. Queries and comments have been directed to Bloom under the watchful eye of Liz O'Day, the assigned Planner for this project, reachable at the Civic Plaza address or through her BloomingtonMN.gov email address, as detailed in the notice shared by the city.
