Welcome to the Twin Cities region of Minnesota Compass. More than half of Minnesota’s residents live in this 7-county area. It is one of the fastest growing in the Midwest and is expected to add a half million residents by 2030.
Thanks to our collaboration of foundations for their generous support and to the more than 500 community leaders who have volunteered their time and expertise to shape the project.
