In September 2011 Minnesota Spay Neuter Assistance Program (MN SNAP) in collaboration with Minneapolis Animal Care and Control (MACC) received a grant provided by PetSmart Charities® allowing the mobile veterinary clinic to provide free spay and neuter services to residents of the 4th and 5th Wards (which includes the Camden Community) whose total household income is less than $40,000 a year or who receive public assistance.

Over the next decade as the City of Minneapolis works to develop the riverfront, the transitional industrial areas of the city will be among the first targeted areas for transitioning businesses from downtown and the riverfront to the other areas. To aid in planning for future growth, the City hired Maxfield to do an “Industrial Land Use Study and Employment Policy Plan” study in 2006 of all industrial properties which led to a new zoning overlay called “Transitional Industrial.” These are “Industrially zoned properties located outside of Industrial Employment Districts since they may eventually evolve to other uses compatible with surrounding development.” One such area is the Mereen Johnson site at 4401 Lyndale.

Lately I have been feeling a little down with the prolonged winter. Where is our spring? Isn’t it supposed to be warmer and sunnier with the trees and flowers blooming? It is enough to get anyone feeling depressed. I think our pets are feeling it, too. They don’t want to go outside in the slush and rain. It is no fun to play with pelts of sleet hitting their faces. When will it end?

The low down on depression

We Can Grow will provide 150 Twin Cities’ families with raised bed gardens this spring. The focus of the program is to provide low-income families a garden and the tools to succeed, free of cost.

With garden delivery to begin early in May, We Can Grow is looking to fill openings for families to participate in late April/early May class sessions.
