Become Informed

It is essential that the public become informed about the importance of Peavey Plaza and how they could help to preserve it. There are many downtown workers, area residents, and other people who use the plaza regularly and do not know that it faces change. Public pressure will be crucial in shaping future plans for Peavey Plaza and could encourage the City to adopt better maintenance practices for the plaza. For more information on Peavey Plaza, contact the Minnesota Chapter of the American Society of Landscape Architects at info@masla.org or (612) 339-0797.
