Rondo Exchange Grand Opening!

Rondo Exchange is a new community-owned small business incubator developed by Rondo Community Land Trust. This space was designed to support creative entrepreneurs with affordable commercial space, structured technical assistance, shared services, and visibility within a collaborative retail environment. But more importantly, it represents something bigger. For decades, Rondo was a thriving Black commercial district built by entrepreneurs who served and sustained the community. While much of that economic ecosystem was disrupted, the spirit of innovation and cultural leadership never disappeared. Rondo Exchange is part of a broader effort to restore that economic and cultural presence along Selby Avenue.

Why I-94 Still Matters

By Jason Shiggs Please note that this article is an opinion piece, and not necessarily the official stance of the SUPC organization. If you ask me what connects the Twin Cities more than anything else, I’d say Interstate 94. For better or worse, it’s the backbone between Minneapolis and Saint Paul. It’s the route people take to work, to school, to hospitals, to events, and to family. It’s not pretty. It’s not charming. But it works. I-94 is the fastest and most reliable way to move between the downtowns, and that matters more than we sometimes want to admit. In a region that depends on mobility for economic life, access to a high-capacity corridor isn’t a luxury — it’s infrastructure. Freight, emergency services, commuters, transit vehicles, and regional travelers all rely on that connection.
