Project partners are working closely with a wide variety of community partners, businesses, cities, and other stakeholder groups to involve as many voices as possible in the planning and decision-making process that represent the diversity of the communities along the route.
Project partners recognize that you are the experts on your community, and that your involvement in project planning and decision-making is the only way to deliver a light rail project that meets your community’s needs.
Community engagement cohort
To ensure voices from all backgrounds are involved in decisions, Hennepin County is contracting with community and cultural organizations that serve corridor residents and stakeholders. This community engagement cohort works closely with project staff and each other to engage residents and businesses, especially those historically left out of major infrastructure planning processes.
Many different organizations have and will be a part of the cohort depending on their interest and current project needs. Currently, organizations participating in the community engagement cohort include:
A Mother's Love
Asian Media Access Inc.
Encouraging Leaders
Juxtaposition Arts
Lao Assistance Center of MN
Liberian Business Association
Pueblos de Lucha y Esperanza
Northside Economic Opportunity Network
West Broadway Coalition
In addition to the Community Engagement Cohort, the Metropolitan Council convenes both business and community advisory committees who make recommendations to the Corridor Management Committee, which is made up of corridor elected officials and community leaders.
