FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Neighborhood identification process begins with survey
Edina, Minn., April 9, 2012 – The City of Edina is seeking input from residents on the identification and
naming of the community’s neighborhoods.
Through April 30, the City is conducting a survey, asking residents to share their thoughts about their
neighborhood’s boundaries, name and central gathering spot. The survey and information on the
neighborhood identification project can be found online at www.EdinaMN.gov or in the final pages of the
spring issue of City’s magazine, About Town.
The survey is the first step in a community engagement process that will include three city-wide meetings, to
be held May 30, July 11 and Sept. 12.The information gathered through the survey and community meetings
will be used to help map Edina’s neighborhoods with the eventual goal being the promotion of neighborhood
associations within the community. Neighborhood associations represent residents and property owners
working together to make each neighborhood a better place to live, learn, raise a family and do business. By
promoting neighborhood associations, the City hopes to build civic infrastructure and promote community
engagement.

City Manager Karen Kurt, staff liaison to the City Council-appointed Neighborhood Identification Steering
Committee, at 952-826-0415. Correspondence to the committee can be sent to mail@EdinaMN.gov.
