Presentation and Discussion: Thrive MSP 2040 and the Metropolitan Parks and Open Space Commission (4:10 – 5:40), Wendy Wulff, Metropolitan Council Member District 16

  •  Thrive Overview
  • Let’s Talk:

Goal: Engage and provide input, particularly on topics relating to metropolitan parks & open spaces and natural resources, to Thrive MSP 2040, the long-range plan that creates the vision for the seven-county metro region. This is the first opportunity for input in an ongoing process.

Key discussion questions:

  • What does our region need to thrive? What kind of region do we want for our children? For our children’s children?
  • What decisions can we make today that will set us on a path toward achieving that vision?

More specifically:

  • What do you see as the issues and challenges facing the region over the next 30 years and how should the Metropolitan Council address these challenges through Thrive MSP 2040?
  • What policies in the previous regional plans should we keep or adjust? What policies should we discontinue? What policies would you add to Thrive MSP 2040?
  • What criteria should the Council use in resolving tensions between regional goals and policies?
What advice do you have as the Council moves ahead on developing Thrive MSP 2040?
