Nicollet Island Historic Affordable Housing

Dear Constituents and Community Members,

Thank you for your emails and phone calls over the past several weeks inquiring about the status of the Nicollet Island Historic Homes Limited Partnership (NIHH) lease in the event of a sale. As you might imagine, given the complex nature of the lease and the sublease through CPED, this has been an intricate issue to approach. After discussions with staff and legal counsel, I am pleased to inform you the Board will be considering a resolution with the aim of preserving affordable housing on Nicollet Island. This item will be discussed during our next regular board meeting on Wednesday, October 7th.

It is our interpretation that affordable housing is a requirement of the original lease, and remains a requirement as long as the land is leased from the park board. The resolution would specify “that the Board of Commissioners directs the Superintendent to review thoroughly any terms of any offer or sale between NIHH and any proposal to buy, acquire or assume the Sublease or any ownership interests in the Ground Lease or properties as well as thoroughly review the proposed terms of any new Sublease between CPED and any new possible sublessee or owner with respect to the properties now held or leased by NIHH and the MPRB expects such transaction will reflect a plan and provisions for affordable housing for low and moderate income people;” (emphasis mine).

I am hopeful that my fellow Commissioners will join me in supporting this resolution. In previous meetings, Commissioners Engelhart and Forney have voiced their support for maintaining affordable housing on Nicollet Island, and I feel this is an issue that is important to many others on the Board as well.

Thank you for your efforts around this, and I look forward to getting this resolution passed!

Jason Garcia

RESOLUTION DIRECTING THE SUPERINTENDENT TO REVIEW THE AFFORDABLE HOUSING
PROVISIONS IN THE GROUND LEASE AND GROUND SUBLEASE BETWEEN THE MINNEAPOLIS
PARK AND RECREATION BOARD AND THE COMMUNITY PLANNING AND ECONOMIC
DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT OF THE CITY OF MINNEAPOLIS ON NICOLLET ISLAND PARK
LOCATED WITHIN CENTRAL MISSISSIPPI RIVERFRONT REGIONAL PARK
Whereas, The Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board (MPRB) was created by the Minnesota
Legislature in April 1883 and has the authority to manage and operate park facilities;
Whereas, In 1985, the MPRB entered a Ground Lease with the Minneapolis Community
Development Agency (now Community Planning and Economic Development department (CPED)
of the City of Minneapolis concerning residential property on Nicollet Island Park (Nicollet Island)
which now consists of 47 housing units (the “Ground Lease”)

AI has lost the Mandate of Heaven I’m afraid. WSJ saying it’s a “when” the ai bubble bursts. SNL dabbing on their biggest names for being weird. FT says 50% of chips sold in 2026 and 2027 have nowhere to go. Hundreds of billions short on revenue for even 10% ROIC. A disaster.

The SNAP stuff was the part that they allowed to take effect before the midterms. That gives you a sense of just how awful the Medicaid stuff they are holding until after the midterms will be.

Don’t hesitate to come to the polls; DOJ monitors will be outside the 100-foot zone, you don’t have to talk, you also don’t have to freak out, if you see them talking to anyone before they vote (they can only do so after) or engaging otherwise, tell the precinct head judge. We’re trained to help.

The flagship Ichiddo Ramen that closed on Eat Street is now a dumpling place, I'm so curious how it is. I was blown away to learn that Ichiddo Ramen now has 26 restaurants in 4 states? But their very first one they opened is now the dumpling place RIP

I got this bizarre super fluffy savory pancake thing from the crepe place at Eat Street Crossing last night If you poked the plate the fluffy pancake tower would jiggle for a very long time 😂 it was surreal and delicious.

A pale tower of oddly fluffy pancakes that jiggle a lot covered in cheese sauce and bacon crumbles with a side salad.

Minnesotans banned predatory betting markets to protect our families, tribes, and small-town economies. Kalshi, Polymarket, and Trump's agency are suing to gut that law and Angie Craig took Kalshi’s money. Minnesota deserves a senator fighting for us, not cashing their checks.
