GREAT RIVER PASSAGE CONSERVANCY
Programs
Great River Passage Conservancy Projects
PROJECT HIGHLIGHTS: The Great River Passage Conservancy's three key capital projects all built momentum in 2022. After months of design iteration and community feedback, the schematic design was finalized for both the Mississippi River Learning Center and River Balcony. Meanwhile, we are nearing the launch of schematic design for the 1,000-acre East Side River District. In May 2022 the Senate passed a bill establishing a task force to accelerate the clean-up at Pig's Eye landfill. The Conservancy was instrumental in advancing this bill through testimony before the House Committee. ORGANIZATIONAL MILESTONES: The Conservancy's Dakota Engagement Initiative ensures that Indigenous voice drives our project design, prioritizing Native-focused place-making and place-keeping across our three key projects. That co-creation continued in 2022 as we worked hand in hand with Dakota tribes, other local Native communities, and Full Circle Indigenous Planning + Design to inform our decision-making. In 2022 we also reached the final phase of equity planning, then contracted with a local equity consultant, Culture Brokers, to finalize the equity strategy and implementation plan. Aligned with our equity focus, we find great meaning and impact in the power of story. We published several "Voices of the River" videos over the last year, shining new light on the river through these stories.GeographiesNot indicatedDatesJan 1, 2022 – Dec 31, 2022Source990No causes providedNo populations provided–$619.5K
