Here's just one example of the unique stories you'll find by ward of results happening in the neighborhoods as a result of Phase I activities:

• Southeast Pollution Prevention Project – Surrounded by industry and freeways, Como residents take a particular interest in air quality. The result is the first Minneapolis on-line environmental inventory (see www.secomo.org). The inventory identifies the environmental impacts of over 70 facilities in and around Southeast Minneapolis. In addition, Como's environmental efforts have resulted in 2 Good Neighbor Agreements that reduce or eliminate more than 730 tons of solvents from entering the neighborhood and $1 billion in pollution equipment upgrades at area power plants. The Southeast Como NRP neighborhood action plan provided the initial funding for a fulltime Environmental Coordinator. The position has been continued with the help of $125,000 in grants from the Headwaters Foundation, the Bush Foundation and the Minnesota Office of Environmental Assistance.
