EDA Land and Redevelopment Activity
Northtown Redevelopment Study Northtown Mall and the surrounding area are vital to the Blaine economy. With changes in the retail landscape and in the community, the City is putting a focus on the future of the Northtown area. The City sought proposals for a redevelopment and revitalization plan for the Northtown area and opted to partner with Damon Farber. The study will take approximately nine months to complete with an expected date of completion in Spring 2022. The study will include the Northtown Mall property plus the surrounding area. The long term plan will address land use, redevelopment/revitalization options, multimodal transportation and public improvements. The City’s goal is to help Northtown Mall continue to be a relevant and important asset to the City and to spur growth appropriate with current market trends and community desires.
