A judge ruled the City of Minneapolis may not move forward with a planned demolition next week of the empty Roof Depot site in the East Phillips neighborhood. The city wants to use the space to construct a public works facility. Residents who oppose demolition have proposed alternatives for the site such as an urban farm, a community center and a site for tiny homes.

The University of Minnesota released what it plans to ask state lawmakers to provide as it works to acquire its buildings from Fairview Health Services, in the midst of a proposed merger with Sanford Health, based in Sioux Falls, SD. The funds would acquire the four facilities as well as operations,  staff, union contracts and leadership for the new organization.
