Mayor R.T. Rybak discusses the Minneapolis Recovery Project.
A message from R.T. Rybak and City Council President Barb Johnson

Minneapolis, like the rest of the nation, is feeling the effects of the recession. That’s why we’re working hard to make the most of federal stimulus funding. We’re taking that job seriously, because at the end of the day, that’s money that we’ll use to put people to work, to rebuild our infrastructure, and to make Minneapolis an even stronger place to live, work, or run a business.

We’re dedicated to going about this work as transparently as possible—by sharing as much information as we can along the way. We hope you find this Web site a valuable resource.

Minneapolis Public Housing Authority holds energy fair and renovation project

May 19, 2010 - Minneapolis Public Housing Authority (MPHA) and Honeywell will host an Energy Fair to provide MPHA residents with information on the housing authority’s conservation efforts. The fair will include demonstrations and workshops about energy efficiency, as well as information on job-training programs — all in a fun, interactive environment.

In addition, Honeywell and Rebuilding Together Twin Cities will make landscaping improvements at the site of the fair. More than 80 Honeywell employees will be on hand to volunteer and Honeywell Hometown Solutions will donate more than $20,000 in materials for the project.
