Building a vibrant future in East Phillips
We did it! We’re buying Roof Depot
After a decade of organizing and resistance, EPNI won the opportunity to convert the Roof Depot warehouse into a bustling community hub and indoor urban farm. This is a historic environmental justice win for Minneapolis, and just the start.
