Two Mankato Projects Awarded Funding for Reconstruction Site Cleanup

The Minnesota Department of Employment and Economic Development (DEED) awarded two grants to the City of Mankato to help fund the cleanup of contaminated sites slated for redevelopment. More than $315,000 were secured by the two projects.

Projects include:

• Corner of North Second and East Mulberry streets: Will be redeveloped into two, six-story mixed-use buildings with market-rate units and retail and office space.
• Between Linder Avenue and Sibley Parkway: Will be redeveloped into a four-story affordable apartment building for seniors.
