Minneapolis Evacuates Heritage Park Residents | Duluth News

Minneapolis is urgently evacuating nearly 700 residents from the crumbling Heritage Park housing development, where mold, rats, and decades of neglect have made living conditions unsafe. After approving $2.5 million to relocate families, city officials face a massive cleanup — with repairs costing tens of millions and rebuilding possibly cheaper. Over 900 violations have been uncovered since inspections intensified, revealing horrors like rats emerging from stoves and mold so bad it’s almost tasteable. Built 25 years ago amid a landmark segregation lawsuit, Heritage Park’s decay has sparked outrage as city leaders demand accountability and swift action to ensure dignity for those displaced amid a brutal heatwave and smoke-filled skies.
