The Prospect Park Association has officially asked for a historic designation for a complex of low income townhomes to help thwart its demolition.
The resolution — passed last week by the Prospect Park Association’s board of directors after months of deliberation — asks Minneapolis Ward 2 City Council member Cam Gordon to nominate the neighborhood’s Glendale Townhomes for historic designation. The move protects the cluster of houses from demolition for up to 18 months.
