In her first State of the City address, Minneapolis mayor Betsy Hodges applauded new city construction projects, specifically ones around the University, saying development won’t slow down anytime soon.
Recent growth around the University is boosting revenue and spurring economic growth, particularly along the light rail Green Line, she told an audience of about 200 residents who packed into the Minneapolis American Indian Center’s gymnasium Thursday.
“We are growing, Minneapolis,” Hodges said. “We are thriving.”
