Support A Just, Healthy, and Sustainable Future for East Phillips Residents!
The East Phillips Neighborhood Institute (EPNI) is focused on environmental justice, public health, and sustainable economic development in the East Phillips neighborhood of Minneapolis, MN. EPNI has engaged a multicultural coalition in a process of self-determination, community governance, and community ownership. The success of EPNI will reverberate across the United States, and change community development to prevent profit vultures and gentrification, and promote tangible and significant wealth building for the most impoverished neighborhoods.
There are 6 main pillars to EPNI's development project:
The former Roof Depot warehouse that EPNI is redeveloping is 230,000 sq. ft. and sits on a plot of land 7.6 acres in size, and abuts the Midtown Greenway Bike Path in South Minneapolis. The goals of the community are ambitious, but we are well on our way to making this project a reality. Major milestones in EPNI's campaign for environmental justice include the following:
EPNI is developing a model of community development that has never been attempted before. Driven by a fatally urgent commitment to environmental justice in one of the lowest income and most racially diverse areas in Minnesota, EPNI is trailblazing a method for wealth generation within the community that will transform public health, and prevent gentrification. EPNI is creating an essential and visionary blueprint for healthy, vibrant and sustainable communities in which all can thrive and blossom.
