Beltrami, Logan Park, Northeast Park, St. Anthony East Neighborhoods
What is the Four-Corners Collaboration?
The 4 Corners Collaboration committee was tasked with exploring options for the next evolution of the neighborhood organizations in the area of Central and Broadway, including Beltrami, Logan Park, Northeast Park, St. Anthony East neighborhoods.
With funding and support from the city dwindling, neighborhood organizations need to become more efficient, more attractive to other funders, and more relevant to all community members. Collaboration is necessary to be sustainable and effective.
