Increasing equity is central to our community plan.
Equity in Brooklyn Park
The Jewel of the North community plan was created to guide the future of the city. One Jewel of the North priority area is to strive for equitable outcomes by maintaining a focus on equity to remove barriers, address opportunity gaps, and build more just systems. That looks like:
- The City’s decisions and policies are guided by a racial equity lens to remove barriers.
- Quality recreation facilities and responsive programming for youth and families inspire activity for all interests and abilities.
- Aging adults have services and amenities to thrive and age in place.
- The City supports its emerging workforce to obtain the training and support needed to get and keep a living wage job.
- Community members have access to quality food, employment, healthcare, housing, and education to overcome life challenges.
