Wells Fargo Community Engagement: Apply to be a Community Representative here!

We, the neighborhoods surrounding the Wells Fargo site at 31st & Nicollet, want to engage community members in picturing a vibrant, integrated cultural and economic area that offer opportunities for residents to shop, learn, engage, build skills, build wealth, and build connections in community.

Wells Fargo has selected a developer and is selling the land to Project for Pride in Living (PPL). The development of the 2-acre site will include at least 200 units of affordable housing, commercial space, and a branch bank of Wells Fargo. The dates for the virtual community engagement sessions are:

• June 3

• June 17

• July 8 (planned for in-person, on site)

• July 22 (planned for in-person, on site)

• August 5

• August 19

• Community Presentation in September: TBD

There is a community engagement team, The Cultural Wellness Center, that is working with PPL to design a broad process focused on designing this site (and the larger area) to meet this vision. They have engaged the surrounding neighborhood associations to help them identify Stakeholders willing to participate in this process.

We are seeking neighbors who will commit to being visible leaders on this project by:

1) attending every meeting (or viewing the recording of each session, if necessary),

2) taking the information and questions back from the sessions to their self-identified Stakeholder group,

and

3) bringing information and questions back from their community to the Community Engagement Team.

Stipends valued at $150.00 are available for community members to do this work!

Thank you for applying here!–
