Port Authority 5-Year Economic Development Plan
The Port Authority of the City of Bloomington is embarking on a process to develop a 5-year Economic Development Action Plan. The Port Authority is undergoing an evolution as it expands from working primarily in the South Loop District (area east of Highway 77) to working Citywide. The Port's main services are currently development and redevelopment, small business assistance, and creative placemaking. TIP Strategies (https://tipstrategies.com/) will guide and craft the plan with input from the community.
A 13-member Steering Committee will help guide the process. Membership includes representatives from key business stakeholders and partners in Bloomington and region:
- Bloomington, MN Travel and Tourism
- Elevate Hennepin/Hennepin County
- Greater MSP
- Health Partners
- Larkin Hoffman
- McGough Companies
- Minneapolis Regional Chamber of Commerce
- Nine Mile Brewing
- Northwestern Health Sciences University
- US Bank
- Xcel Energy
- Zawadi Center
This site will continually be updated as the planning process progresses. Questions about the project can be directed to Holly Masek, Port Authority Administrator, at hmasek@bloomingtonmn.gov.
