History
[edit]The Sumner Field Homes, constructed by the WPA in 1938, were the first federally subsidized homes in Minnesota. The homes were demolished in 1998, along with high-rise project housing buildings constructed in the 1960s and 1970s. According to the US Census (1), the area experienced a 95.7% population loss from 3,336 in 1990 to 144 in 2000. Plans are in place to rebuild the area, re-incorporating it into surrounding street grids. Buildings following the "New Urbanism" style will mix affordable and market-rate units, and will replace the old project housing.
The new community, developed by McCormack Baron Salazar, was funded with HOPE VI grants. The community has been renamed Heritage Park, and includes mixed-income rental and owned units.[7] One of the new streets in this development, Van White Memorial Boulevard, is named for Van Freeman White, the first African-American to serve on the Minneapolis City Council.
In addition to mixed-income rentals, the Heritage Park Master Association represents the owners of single-family houses, townhouses, and condominiums in the neighborhood.44°59′03″N 93°17′27″W / 44.9841°N 93.2908°W[8]
