HEALTHY PEOPLE, HEALTHY PLANET, HEALTH AND WELL-BEING FOR ALL WORLD EXPO 2027

As we begin 2023, we are very excited to announce that the Bureau of International Expositions (BIE) has officially approved and advanced the United States and Minnesota’s bid to host a Specialized World Expo in 2027. This is the first time since 1980 that the BIE Executive Committee has deemed a bid viable on behalf of the United States and brings us one step closer to making this a reality in 2027.

With Bloomington as the preferred site for the Expo, it is a tremendous opportunity that we have never had before. Securing this Specialized Expo would be a destination game-changer and would drive substantial economic benefits and new development for the city of Bloomington. The decision by the BIE is expected in June 2023.

A key priority of ours in 2023 will be to remain engaged on all levels to support this initiative along with community and national leaders to bring this event to the United States and Bloomington in 2027.
