CBS NEWS: Minneapolis community group celebrates "Roof Depot" victory
MINNEAPOLIS – A celebration took place Sunday for a community-led effort to buy a controversial piece of property in Minneapolis.
The city will be selling the Roof Depot site in the East Phillips neighborhood to a group of activists and neighbors.
"There's just no way I could stop fighting for it," said Steve Sandberg, a board member for the East Phillips Neighborhood Institute, the nonprofit behind the purchase.
Joe Vital, who lives in the neighborhood and volunteers with EPNI, says he's still in a bit of shock that they were able to make this happen.
