Minneapolis mayor Betsy Hodges applauded new growth in the University of Minnesota’s area and called for more citywide development in her first State of the City address on Thursday.
“We are growing, Minneapolis. We are thriving,” she said to the audience of about 200 people in the Minneapolis American Indian Center’s gymnasium.
New development in the city is boosting revenue and spurring economic growth, she said, noting specific projects in the University’s area.
