Timeline

• The City of Minneapolis purchased the Peoples’ Way property at 3744 Chicago Ave in June 2023.
• Since then, the City has worked with community members to identify a long-term community-centered vision, ownership structure and future use for the site.
• In September 2024, the City issued a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) seeking organizations interested in becoming the future community owner and development partner for Peoples’ Way.
• On February 26, 2025, the City hosted a community event at Sabathani Community Center where residents were invited to meet the applicant teams and learn more about their ideas for the site.
• Four groups responded to the City’s Request for Qualifications. One group later withdrew from consideration.

The following teams submitted applications:

• Minnesota Agape Movement
• P3 Foundation (David’s Place)
• Rise and Remember
• Urban League – Twin Cities (application withdrawn)

Community engagement

Community feedback helped inform the City’s evaluation and selection process and will continue to shape future planning and design for the site.

Future engagement opportunities will be shared as project planning moves forward.
