New site emerges after Minneapolis council delays a decision on relocating homeless camp

Hours after the Minneapolis City Council asked staff Friday to find an alternative site to relocate the dozens of homeless people camped in tents, Mayor Jacob Frey said he has found one.

Frey is suggesting the Hiawatha encampment residents relocate to a 1.5-acre property owned by Red Lake Nation at 2109 Cedar Av. S., the former home of Amble’s Machinery and Hardware. Frey said the relocation site is backed by 10 American Indian tribes.
