Blake Road Corridor Collaborative

Alatus, the development partner selected by the City of Hopkins and the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District (MCWD) to lead a transformative redevelopment of about 13 acres of the site at 325 Blake Road, is hosting a neighborhood meeting to discuss the project on Monday, November 15, at 6:30 pm at 43 Hoops Basketball Academy (1002 2nd Street NE).

Alatus has submitted plans to the City of Hopkins for their project, which will include 761 units of varying types of housing, retail and commercial space and public gathering areas. The project plans are scheduled to be considered by the Planning and Zoning Commission on November 23 and the City Council on December 7.

MCWD will also be present at the neighborhood meeting to talk about its stormwater and Minnehaha Creek Greenway expansion and restoration project on the site. Based on community ideas generated at this spring and summer’s listening sessions and open houses, MCWD has produced designs ready for public feedback.
