Opportunity Crossing wins Minnesota Brownfields ReScape Award

Opportunity Crossing has won the Minnesota Brownfields ReScape Award. Hennepin County’s Environmental Response Fund (ERF) helped clean up the project site near 31st Street and Nicollet Avenue in south Minneapolis.
The site’s long history includes as the former location of Wright Field, where the Minneapolis Millers played, and later a Wells Fargo bank that was damaged during the civil unrest in 2020. Today, Opportunity Crossing is a six‑story, mixed‑use building with 110 affordable family housing units above a new Wells Fargo branch and a few commercial condos for local entrepreneurs.
Along with Opportunity Crossing, two more ERF grantees were honored with ReScape nominations: Debre Selam and Kyle Garden Square.
