New Penn-Lowry Crossings anchors the Avenues
03/01/2008
The City of Minneapolis, Wellington Management, Inc. and residents celebrated the opening of Penn-Lowry Crossings on January 26. The Patrick Henry High School Marching Band kicked off the event, gathering the community to celebrate this key Northside commercial retail development.
The $8 million project includes Aldi grocery, providing healthy food choices for residents; the Resource Inc. Employment Action Center, a provider of job training programs; retail space; and a renovation of the Family Dollar Store.
“Development at this corner is critical and key to the Northside development strategy,” said Council President Barbara Johnson. “With community perseverance and collaboration—the key element to the success of this redevelopment project—local residents, business owners and neighborhood organizations worked together to redevelop the intersection.”
The redevelopment anchors Hennepin County’s rebuild of Lowry Avenue with enhanced boulevards, bike lanes and transit. The development, coupled with the corridor project, continues the renaissance of the Camden area.
