For more than a century, Downtown Minneapolis has been the commercial and cultural epicenter of our region. The Minneapolis Downtown Council has advocated over the past 60 years for continued growth and development, and working in 10-15 year plan increments has helped generate results. As we continue working toward completing The 2025 Plan, here are major accomplishments that have taken place in alignment with these work plans over the past six decades.
