Cottage Park BBQ



Architecture for Humanity Minnesota is the focus of my volunteer efforts. We have been active for about 2 1/2 years working on design projects locally and internationally. We are currently trying to find ways to continue work on the Northside of Minneapolis and recently made a connection with the Pohlad Family Foundation. This past Tuesday they invited us to a barbeque at Cottage Park, a place in Minneapolis that was new to me. The event brought together many people with connections to the neighborhood. The Ackerberg Group has worked to improve the park and several homes in the Jordan neighborhood. A really cool old church faces the park. It would be great to see this area revitalized. Hopefully AFH MN can find a way to help.

I live nearby Cottage Park and was at the BBQ as well. I noticed yesterday that work is being done on the old you mention. We are very excited to see what happens in Cottage Park!
