 The Red Lake Band of Chippewa Indians plans to develop a 109-unit mixed-use development in Minneapolis has gotten a boost. The project, which is named after an Ojibwe phrase that means the good life, was awarded $2.71 million from the city of Minneapolis on Friday. That is one of the largest affordable housing trust funds awards ever approved and provides mixed-use, mixed-income workforce housing for families on a distressed site along a transit-oriented commercial corridor. Plans are for the development to be located adjacent to the Franklin Avenue Metro Blue Line on Cedar Avenue South in Minneapolis. It will offer efficiencies, one, two, and three-bedroom units in a six-story building with ample green space, shared underground parking, and a complete amenity package. The Red Lake Band will co-locate their Wellness Center and Red Lake Nation Embassy on the nation's first floor, the building's first floor, I should say.
