2025 Green Zone community projects request for proposals

The City is now accepting proposals for Green Zone community projects.

Overview

We released a request for proposals (RFP) for 2025 Green Zone community projects.

Our goal is to support community-led projects that advance environmental justice in the Northside and/or Southside Green Zones.

Projects need to:

  • Align with the goals and strategies in the Northside or Southside Work Plan 
  • Serve Minneapolis residents in the Northside and Southside Green Zones
  • Advance environmental justice 

About Green Zones

The Green Zones are geographic areas that experience high levels of environmental pollution. Green zones also experience social, political and economic marginalization.

We work with two advisory bodies made up of residents from the Northside and Southside Green Zones.
