Commercial development districts eyed for Snelling & University

When Allianz Field plans took shape more than a decade ago, one hoped-for effect was for an active hospitality community. Black Hart, Midway Saloon, Turf Club, Sports Bar and Ethiopian Restaurant and the stadium’s own Brew Hall are among places for fans to gather, along with new restaurants opening later this year. But could the potential for up to four new on-sale liquor licenses near Snelling and University avenues give the area an added boost?

Sold: Sanford buys North Memorial Health

Following years of mounting financial pressure, North Memorial Health has reached an agreement to be acquired by South Dakota-based Sanford Health, backed by $600 million in guaranteed local hospital investments secured by the Minnesota Attorney General’s Office. Earlier this year, North Memorial sought emergency financial assistance from the Minnesota Legislature. But while state lawmakers approved $205 million in emergency funding and a $500 million reserve account for Hennepin County Medical Center (HCMC), state aid for North Memorial fell through. Lacking a taxpayer bailout, the private health system, which operates major hospitals in Robbinsdale and Maple Grove, turned to an out-of-state acquisition by Sanford Health to keep its doors open. Under a new state law, Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison reviews this kind of healthcare-related transaction. A memorandum of understanding signed Aug. 27 includes Sanford agreeing to pay $100 million for deferred maintenance at the Robbinsdale location and $500 million for the Maple Grove location. “Nothing is more basic to helping Minnesotans afford their lives and live with dignity, safety, and respect than access to high-quality, affordable healthcare," Ellison said in a statement. "In obtaining these public interest commitments for the proposed merger between Sanford Health and North Memorial Health, we
