Zellie M.A., M.S., Principal Investigator Amy M. Lucas M.S. Landscape Research LLC 1466 Hythe Street St. Paul, Minnesota 55108 2009 This page intentionally left blank Management Summary In 2007, Hennepin County (HCWT) contracted with Landscape Research LLC to conduct a cultural resources study for the Minnehaha-Hiawatha Corridor in Minneapolis, Hennepin County, Minnesota. This project is a component of the Minnehaha-Hiawatha Community Works Strategic Development Framework. The study area was defined by Hennepin County (Fig.1). It extends from 28th Street at the north to E. Minnehaha Parkway at the south, and includes the first tier of properties along the east side of Minnehaha Avenue. The project area extends across Snelling and Dight (Railroad) Avenues and includes properties along the east side of Hiawatha Avenue. The cultural resources study has two parts. The first provides a land use history for the project area, beginning with the development of the territorial road and rail corridor in the mid-19th century and extending through the 20th-century development of industry and housing. The land use history will provide information for Hennepin County planners and community stakeholders involved in future planning for the Minnehaha-Hiawatha corridor.

  • Section Five: Racially Concentrated Areas of Poverty in the Region
    Please note that as of January 2015, Metropolitan Council no longer uses the term Racially Concentrated Areas of Poverty (RCAP). This report, prepared for the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, required our use of the term RCAP. In our continued research on poverty in the Twin Cities region, we now refer to Areas of Concentrated Poverty where 50% or more of residents are people of color (ACP50). SECTION FIVE: RACIALLY CONCENTRATED AREAS OF POVERTY IN THE REGION Metropolitan Council Choice, Place and Opportunity: An Equity Assessment of the Twin Cities Region Section 5 Please note that as of January 2015, Metropolitan Council no longer uses the term Racially Concentrated Areas of Poverty (RCAP). This report, prepared for the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, required our use of the term RCAP. In our continued research on poverty in the Twin Cities region, we now refer to Areas of Concentrated Poverty where 50% or more of residents are people of color (ACP50). Section Four presented the race-specific barriers that limit the residential choices of people of color, hindering their ability to leave areas of concentrated poverty. Section Five focuses on how these race- specific barriers historically made and remade Racially Concentrated Areas of Poverty (RCAPs) as places where the region’s racial and ethnic disparities are reproduced. Section Five begins by comparing areas of concentrated poverty with RCAPs, noting the difference that race makes in shaping the region’s geography of poverty. The section goes on to describe the region’s RCAPs and discusses how they evolved since the 1990s.
