Hi
I'm
Jamie
for
boogie,
and
this
is
a
round
B
town,
three
updates
from
the
City
Council
in
just
under
60
seconds.
First,
the
City
Council
approved
the
development
program
for
the
Gateway
development
district.
This
is
a
map
of
the
district.
The
strategy
will
encourage
redevelopment
of
Bloomington's
neighborhood
commercial,
centers
and
corridors.
It
will
carry
out
the
council's
strategic
priority
of
focused
renewal,
while
tying
together
commercial
nodes
and
corridors
throughout
the
city
to
refresh
renew
and
revitalize
Bloomington.

The
council
also
approved
changes
at
Great,
Wolf
Lodge,
so
Great
Wolf
can
sell
day
passes
to
the
water
park.
This
will
provide
flexibility
for
Great
Wolf
and
shows
the
city's
commitment
to
working
with
the
business
community
to
ensure
success.
The
city
continues
to
work
on
a
separate
water
park
project
at
Mall
of
America.
Finally,
Bloomington
schools
were
recognized
for
collecting
food
and
money
during
its
district-wide
food
drive,
the
drive
benefits
veep,
an
organization
that
provides
assistance
to
thousands
in
our
community
experiencing
economic
housing
and
food
insecurity.
