Ward 3 City Councilman Jacob Frey wants to help bring a more affordable grocery store option to University of Minnesota students.
Frey proposed a new grocery store be constructed this year near Thresher Square, a block in Downtown East that is just one Green Line light rail stop away from the West Bank campus. In addition to receiving investment from a grocer, Frey said he will also seek input from students.
