FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
City To Hold Community Meeting For Grandview Site
Edina, Minn., Nov. 14, 2014 – What could go on the vacant former public works site at 5146 Eden Ave.?
The City of Edina will hold a community meeting to gather ideas.
All are welcome to attend an “Exploration Session” 7-9 p.m. Thursday, Dec. 4, at the Edina Community
Center, 5701 Normandale Road, Room 303. At this meeting, the conversation around the site’s future will be
renewed. Ideas and suggestions are encouraged.
“We want to hear the needs of residents, the business community, the schools, worship groups, visitors – if
you have a stake in Edina, we want to hear your ideas,” said Economic Development Manager Bill Neuendorf.
This fall, the City entered into a partnership with Frauenshuh, Inc. to help define what public and private uses
could feasibly work together on the site. To accomplish this, extensive community feedback is needed.
“Neighbors have been talking about this site for more than five years, dreaming and setting a vision for the
future,” said Neuendorf. “But this is where it gets real. Beginning in December, the City is taking a close look
specifically at the 3.3-acre former Public Works site, which was envisioned to be reused with a combination of
public and private uses. Now is the time to define what that looks like and potentially develop it.”
Those unable to attend the meeting can schedule smaller group meetings by contacting Executive Assistant
Heather Branigin at 952-826-0403. Ideas can also be submitted online at www.SpeakUpEdina.org.
