Message from MDC President & CEO Steve Cramer with with COVID Resources

April 30, 2020 By EDC

As we prepare to enter May, it is incredible to think that we’ve spent the past six-plus weeks adjusting to the ever-evolving COVID-19 pandemic. I hope you continue to stay safe and are taking the necessary steps to navigate this pandemic in the best way possible–both personally and professionally. We continue to strike that balance here at mdc/DID.

All the while, we continue to stay confident that downtown will emerge strong and vital. To make this possible, we are continuing to send these resource emails to help keep you up to date with the latest information. Be sure to check out the link below to our virtual panel and discussion we held yesterday on “back to business in downtown mpls”, as our fantastic panel and Mayor Frey highlighted what we’re learning from this crisis and how we can come out of it even stronger together.

We continue to wish you the best from afar, and we hope you and your colleagues, families and friends are doing well. Know that you can always count on us to be there to help. We appreciate all you do to make downtown extraordinary, and we can’t wait to enjoy downtown together with you again sometime soon.

Stay safe!

Steve Cramer, President & CEO
Minneapolis Downtown Council
