Josh Martin covered last night's Park Board meeting for us. He focused on two pieces – the Board's proposed plan for planting and maintaining trees that focuses on selling carbon offset credits and how much property tax funding the Board will request. The Star Tribune published a good background piece on the Park Board's proposed plan to setup a carbon offsets program to fund the planting of more trees across Minneapolis.
The Park Board will be voting on a 6% increase to the property tax levy at the July 20 meeting, a portion of which of which will be used to pay for a larger Park Police force. A 6% increase for the Park Board levy amounts to $17 on a $316,000 home, which is the median value in the city.
Anna visited Hemp House, located on 26th Street in the Wedge, to find out what the first few days of legalized edibles has been like for the store.
Since the new law went into effect on July 1, Hemp House has sold out of much of their delta-9 products and the owners are thinking about opening new shops and expanding Hemp House’s delivery service.
There's lots of fun, outdoor stuff in the city's parks this evening. In Southwest alone, it's Karaoke Night at Bryant Square Park starting at 6:30 p.m., sunset yoga in the Sculpture Garden starting at 7:30 p.m., and Folk/Americana singer-songwriter Jaspar Lepak will be playing with Ben Cook-Feltz on piano and harmonies from 7:30 - 9 p.m. at the Lake Harriet Bandshell.
