DMNA is involved in a variety of projects including Crime & Safety, Land Use, and Transportation. Funding for many of DMNA’s projects
come from the Neighborhood Revitalization Project (NRP)
Carletta promotes public and private sector collaborative relationships that foster affordable housing, business development, culture and educational opportunities for the residents, businesses, employees and visitors to the Central Business District of Minneapolis. To accomplish these goals she has forged relationships with such organizations as Aeon, the East Downtown Council, and 2020 Partners. Carletta joined the DMNA to assist in making the downtown neighborhood attractive, safe, economically viable, and a great place to live, work, play and visit, similar to what she experienced during the renaissance in the late 1980’s and early 1990’s in the South Loop (Burnham Park Neighborhood) downtown community of Chicago, Illinois. Carletta has been a board member since 1998.
