New Office Proposed To Merge Development, Planning
A consultant is suggesting that Minneapolis merge development, planning and other tasks into a new office that would supervise everything from patching streets to giving immunizations to easing the path for developers.
"As envisioned, the office would bring together the Minneapolis Community Development Agency (MCDA), the Planning Department and the Neighborhood Revitalization Program (NRP). But it also would encompass the city's public-health operations and eventually its Public Works Department. Some council members are balking over including Public Works, except perhaps for transportation planning....The critical element of the proposals is to bring the planning functions of city government together with the departments that carry out city priorities."
