Minneapolis Begins Redevelopment of George Floyd Square with Infrastructure Upgrades
Construction has commenced on the redevelopment of George Floyd Square in Minneapolis, marking a significant step in transforming the area into a space that honors the memory of George Floyd while enhancing community infrastructure. Crews began work on replacing underground sewer and water lines at the intersection of 38th Street and Chicago Avenue, which will remain closed to traffic until late 2027. The redevelopment plan, approved by the Minneapolis City Council and supported by Mayor Jacob Frey, includes provisions for transit access, public gatherings, expanded memorial spaces, green areas, and a bikeway. This project aims to create a more inclusive and accessible environment while preserving the historical significance of the site where George Floyd was murdered over six years ago.
