Minneapolis, MN — On August 11, 2025, the East Phillips Neighborhood Institute (EPNI) held a press conference in front of the Roof Depot site. They have fought continuously for three years around the Roof Depot issue, which was sparked when the City of Minneapolis wanted to demolish the former Sears warehouse building on 27th Street and Longfellow Avenue. The building had been built when a pesticide plant was in operation nearby, and it had effectively trapped arsenic particulates; this was the main reason the community stopped the demolition – to avoid being poisoned by toxic clouds. The city’s original plan for the site included a public works expansion, which drew pollution concerns over the possible introduction of over 800 diesel trucks moving in and out of the area, kicking up air impurities in the process.

East Phillips is ready to rise. In Minneapolis – a city long divided by race, pollution, politics, and pain – this Southside neighborhood is showing a new way forward.

It is a bold, community-led vision to reclaim land poisoned by decades of environmental racism and convert it into a thriving hub of healing with fresh food, clean energy, good jobs, and cultural connection. This is what restorative practices look like in real life. That vision is now at risk. After years of organizing, legal battles, and raising more than $10 million, the East Phillips Neighborhood Institute (EPNI) stands ready to buy the 7-acre Roof Depot site from the city of Minneapolis.
