Concern for the loss of inner-city <br />jobs that would consequently be relocated led The Green Institute and <br />Minneapolis Foundation to fund a new master plan. <br /> <br />LHB, in partnership with Trillium Planning and Development and The Green <br />Institute, coordinated an eco-industrial master planning process with the goal of <br />enhancing existing business performance. With smaller ecological footprints, <br />these industries can remain and continue to provide valuable job opportunities in <br />Basset Creek Valley. <br /> <br />Design features of the eco-industrial plain include: <br /> <br />· A multi-level manufacturing center to in1prove business efficiencies <br />· A warehouse and distribution center with showrooms and incubator space <br />· Mixed-use buildings witl1 housing and offices above multi-level parking <br />· An expanded Bryn Mawr Meadows and relocated farmer's market in place of <br />the auto impound lot and concrete crushing yard. <br />
