Champlin moves forward with Mississippi Crossings redevelopment

Plans to redevelop Mississippi Crossings have been discussed for about 20 years in Champlin.

Recent Champlin City Council action will bring another property to the area.

In 1999 a redevelopment plan including mixed-use and residential and commercial developments along the 160-acre area along the Mississippi River known as Mississippi Crossings was drafted. Since then and up until today, the goal has been to create a modern version of the once bustling area that expanded from a steamboat landing area in the mid-1800s to a central business district in the 1900s.
