  • Minneapolis Update: Park Transformation, Construction Season, Tech Job Boom, and Community Achievements

    Minneapolis Update: Park Transformation, Construction Season, Tech Job Boom, and Community Achievements
    2025/04/22
    Good morning, this is Minneapolis Local Pulse for Tuesday, April 22nd.

    We wake up today with rain showers moving back in overnight, though lighter than yesterday. The good news is, by this afternoon, forecasters say we’ll reclaim some sunshine, so if you’re planning to be out and about, keep an umbrella handy for the morning and look forward to drier weather later.

    Let’s start with some breaking news out of the North Side. North Commons Park is set for a major transformation, as the Minneapolis Parks Foundation has launched a community-driven campaign aiming to raise twenty million dollars. The vision is to reimagine the park, which means better amenities, new gathering spaces, and more opportunities for all of us to connect in the heart of our city.

    Turning to City Hall, spring also marks the kickoff of Minneapolis’s ambitious 2025 construction season. Crews will be working on over two hundred million dollars' worth of projects, including resurfacing nine miles of streets, rebuilding two Greenway bridges, and replacing more than eight hundred lead water lines. We’re reminded to take it slow around worksites, use the city’s new construction dashboard for real-time updates, and stay patient as these upgrades bring safer streets and cleaner water across our neighborhoods.

    In local government, there’s ongoing debate over proposed limits to homeowner association powers, aiming for more transparency. And at the Capitol, a bipartisan effort is unfolding to secure federal funding for domestic violence services, a crucial need as budget cuts loom.

    The job market remains lively. Minneapolis is cementing its status as a national tech hub, generating thirty-one billion dollars annually with major expansions from Medtronic, Target, and emerging clean technology startups. Nearly forty thousand new tech jobs are projected over the next five years, especially in healthcare and green energy. It’s a hot time for anyone in IT and innovation, with starting salaries climbing into six figures.

    In real estate, new homes are breaking ground as part of the Housing for Heroes initiative, including one near Lake Street, supporting veterans with affordable housing.

    We have a few quick notes on community achievements. The University of Minnesota dance team has been selected to represent Team USA at the international ICU World Championships, an impressive honor after claiming their twenty-third national title. In high school sports, it’s been a competitive spring, with several city teams advancing in soccer and track.

    Crime in the city has remained relatively quiet, though police are seeking help in locating thirty-five-year-old Shalene Ball, believed to be endangered. Over the weekend, a fatal shooting on the north side marked the city’s first homicide in two months, a sobering reminder to stay vigilant and support one another.

    On the cultural front, fans gathered at Paisley Park yesterday to celebrate nine years since Prince’s passing, with music, memories, and purple everywhere. Meanwhile, North Loop saw new energy with the opening of a women-owned design collective offering classes and artisan wares, bringing creative buzz to Washington Avenue.

    And finally, a feel-good story: local fire stations are getting creative in their search for new recruits, partnering with schools and rolling out targeted ads to boost their depleted ranks. It’s a reminder of how we all pitch in to keep Minneapolis safe.

    This has been Minneapolis Local Pulse. We’ll see you tomorrow with more local updates.

  • Spring Warmth, Earth Day Cleanup, and City Construction Kick Off Weekend in Minneapolis

    Spring Warmth, Earth Day Cleanup, and City Construction Kick Off Weekend in Minneapolis
    2025/04/19
    Good morning, this is Minneapolis Local Pulse for Saturday, April nineteenth. We are waking up to some spring warmth, so expect plenty of folks out and about today. The forecast calls for partly sunny skies with highs in the mid-sixties, making it a great day to be outdoors, especially if you are joining the Earth Day Cleanup. That kicks off at nine thirty this morning in parks and along river walks across the city. Volunteers will gather at over forty sites, including Boom Island Park and Minnehaha Falls, to help clean up after the winter snow melt. No signup needed—just show up, grab your gloves, and make a difference together.

    On the civic front, construction season is officially underway. City hall is rolling out more than two hundred twenty-five million dollars’ worth of infrastructure improvements this year. We will see nearly ten miles of city streets resurfaced, more than eight hundred lead water lines replaced, and new bridges rebuilt along the Midtown Greenway. Mayor Jacob Frey says these noisy months ahead are vital for safer streets and cleaner water, even if traffic gets a little tougher. The city has launched a new online dashboard to help us all keep track of construction zones and detours, so be sure to check that before heading downtown or across Hennepin Avenue.

    In real estate, the spring market is starting to buzz. Median home prices in Minneapolis remain just under four hundred thousand dollars, with modest increases in listings across North Loop and Uptown. The rental market is seeing a surge in available units, particularly in the Mill District, where several new mixed-use buildings are opening this week.

    For jobs, new postings are up about five percent compared to last month, led by health care roles at Hennepin Healthcare and tech positions at startups along Washington Avenue. If you are in the market, now is a good time to check local boards.

    In breaking news, city police responded last night to a reported armed robbery on East Lake Street near 30th Avenue South. Two suspects were apprehended after a brief chase, and no injuries were reported. The investigation is ongoing, but officers say there is no ongoing threat to the public. Meanwhile, police are increasing patrols near the University of Minnesota campus after a string of car break-ins this week.

    Now to cultural happenings. The Twin Cities Auto Show wraps up its final day at the Minneapolis Convention Center, where car fans can peruse the latest models and classic rides until this evening. Tonight, the city will light up for music lovers as Kendrick Lamar and SZA share the stage at U.S. Bank Stadium for their Grand National Tour kickoff. If you are not heading to the concert, Falling Knife brewery in Northeast is hosting a Timberwolves playoff watch party as the Wolves take on the Lakers at seven thirty. Across town, B2B Night at the Skyway Theatre’s Loft brings local musicians together for a high-energy showcase. For a taste of global culture, Afrolituation at The Bazemnt Lounge starts at ten tonight, celebrating African music, food, and fashion into the early hours.

    On a feel-good note, congrats to the Southwest High School robotics team, who just won top honors at the state competition this week, competing against schools from across Minnesota.

    That is all for today’s Minneapolis Local Pulse. We will see you tomorrow with more local updates.

  • "Tech Boom, Sustainable Energy, and Hometown Triumphs: A Minneapolis Local Pulse Update"

    "Tech Boom, Sustainable Energy, and Hometown Triumphs: A Minneapolis Local Pulse Update"
    2025/04/17
    Good morning, this is Minneapolis Local Pulse for Thursday, April 17, 2025.

    We wake up today to clear skies and a comfortable spring morning, with highs expected in the mid-60s. If you’re heading out, it should be a perfect day to walk along the Stone Arch Bridge or grab lunch outdoors downtown. Later tonight, expect a drop into the 40s with a slight breeze, but overall, no rain is forecast until the weekend, so we can enjoy a dry stretch for now.

    Our top local headlines begin with city government news. The Minneapolis City Council continues its spring session today with several topics up for discussion, focusing on public infrastructure and neighborhood safety. We’re keeping an eye on their push for greater transparency, as the city just rolled out a new 911 Emergency Incidents Dashboard. This dashboard lets residents track real-time emergency responses citywide. If you hear sirens near Hennepin Avenue, now you can get quick updates online. The city is also testing encrypted radio for first responders this week, aiming to improve communication security without losing public access to key information.

    On the job front, Minneapolis continues to see strong growth in the tech sector. Tech jobs make up more than 12 percent of our workforce, and the median salary in tech here is now around 82 thousand dollars. The city expects about 39 thousand new tech jobs over the next five years, especially in software, data analytics, and cybersecurity. Venture capital investment has surged, especially for diverse founders, making Minneapolis a top destination for both startups and job seekers.

    Turning to real estate, the spring market is heating up. Open houses are popping up in the Nokomis and Powderhorn neighborhoods, with median home prices holding steady compared to last month. New development projects are underway near the North Loop, while a few longtime businesses are closing, making way for a major new commercial project set to open by fall. FCC Environmental Services has just been awarded the contract for the South Municipal Solid Waste Transfer Station, promising improved trash service for several downtown blocks.

    In community events, today marks the launch of the Minnesota Energy Factsheet in St. Paul, a hybrid event at the Wilder Foundation, where clean energy leaders will share how statewide sustainability trends are shaping our city. Meanwhile, the Governor’s Task Force on Broadband is meeting virtually this morning, focusing on expanding digital access, which could open more economic opportunities for our neighborhoods.

    On the cultural front, the local music scene is buzzing. First Avenue features indie bands tonight, while the Cedar Cultural Center will host a folk showcase. Don’t miss the Art Shanty Project kickoff on Lake Harriet this Saturday—it’s always a crowd-pleaser.

    Sportswise, our high school basketball teams picked up important wins last night, with South High’s girls’ squad clinching their spot in next month’s state tourney. The Twins return to Target Field tonight after a three-game sweep in Detroit, and fans are hopeful for another home win.

    A quick public safety update: Police are still investigating an overnight stabbing outside a bar in the North Loop. No arrests have been made, and anyone with information is urged to contact authorities. Meanwhile, the city is highlighting a new program pairing police officers with community members in Cedar Riverside to improve neighborhood safety.

    And for a feel-good note: Roosevelt High’s robotics team just advanced to the national finals after taking first place in last weekend’s regional, showing the power of teamwork and innovation.

    This has been Minneapolis Local Pulse. We'll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
