We were thrilled to team up with the Destination Northside Coalition this week to offer our fundholders an up-close look at some of the exciting projects that are fueling economic growth in North Minneapolis and beyond. Thanks to everyone who joined us!

As you get ready to vote, remember that all Minnesotans have a chance to vote YES to keep lottery funds working our Great Outdoors.
Every year, lottery proceeds fund over $80 million in projects, including the one in this article. Let's keep it going!

Loved this insightful conversation with @R_T_Rybak and Tuleah Palmer about rural-urban interdependence in MN. @R_T_Rybak: "Minneapolis is a series of villages." Tuleah Palmer: "It's vital for us to think about policies that deliberately unite us." https://t.co/Nn3GzjHrUC

Did you know there will be a statewide question on your November ballot? Minnesotans will be asked if we want to keep lottery proceeds dedicated to protecting our Great Outdoors. Our answer — YES! We support keeping the lottery working for the lands and lakes we love.

Today is the official kick-off for our MN Lottery campaign. We gathered to show support and make sure everyone knows they need to vote YES on their November ballot to keep the lottery working for Our Great Outdoors. #mnlottery
