[Mpls] Peavey Park

[Svattheriver at aol.com]

I and many others have been working on keeping year round programming and  
facilities at Peavey Park.  In a process designed to gather community  input, 
there is a School Board meeting about the building disposition,  scheduled:
Monday, 
Dec. 5, 7-9 p.m., 
Andersen Open, 
1098 Andersen  Lane 

Having met last week with 26 community leaders and elected officials, I  
would like to express the need to develop a plan for this property that meets  the 
long term needs of the community in this area. We need a public process to  
work on the criteria for disposition of this land that can be advantageous to  
the School Board and the community.
 
Selling or giving the gym portion of the building to the Park Board or  
working with a buyer that is willing to work on a shared facility are things  we 
need to include in this process.
 
 I urge folks to attend this meeting. If you cannot attend send  your request 
to open this process to _MPSReusePlan at mpls.k12.mn.us_
