<br />The intent of ULI Minnesota's Advisory Services workshops is to help cities fulfill their desired
<br />development potential in ways that are financially, environmentally and socially responsible. The intent is
<br />also to help private developers, architects and public finance consultants appreciate the challenges facing
<br />public officials.

<br />"W's role is like a coach for cities.
<br />They help you figure out your goal
<br />and how to get there, and then how
<br />to gold yourself accountable."
<br />Jamie Verbrugge
<br />City Manager, Bloomington
<br />A workshop might, for example, help city leaders understand
<br />why a new housing development has failed to fit the current
<br />market, or why a certain street corner remains undeveloped
<br />despite persistent efforts.
<br />Of special interest is the profound shift in the housing market in
<br />recent years. Changing demographics, new market preferences
<br />and economic uncertainty have altered the housing landscape in
<br />ways that have left some cities unprepared. The Advisory
<br />Services programs give cities the tools they need to grapple with
<br />these challenges.

<br />A review of the workshop series included conversations with a dozen past participants illuminating a
<br />number of insights, among them:
<br />Understand and respond to changing markets. The workshops are beneficial to cities and counties
<br />as they plan complex projects. For example, drawing on information from its workshop in September
<br />2015, Bloomington adopted a new strategy for reviving failing neighborhood commercial nodes by adding
<br />housing and new types of businesses.
<br />Regarding the Southwest Corridor TAP:
<br />"Thanks to ULI MN and all involved in the TAP for the Blake Station. It gave us more than a few things
<br />to think about. That is success to me."'
<br />"elr»stlen fiver i ., City of Hopkins
<br />On the value of new ideas from the private sector needed after years of planning:
<br />"Thank you for all the hard work in pulling the TAP together. I think the panel gave us informed and
<br />thoughtful feedback on the concepts and provide new insights for consideration, which is exactly what
<br />we were after.'
<br />Kate Wlefkew, f„ erpne in Coiurity
<br />Affirm market knowledge. More than on any other topic, workshop participants agreed that
<br />information from experts had a big impact on elected officials.
<br />"There were a few hard truths about the housing market that went down better because it came from
<br />real estate professionals."
