Putting Down Roots in a Neighborhood With Potential

The Root District could be the next hot Minneapolis neighborhood you never knew existed. Best known for the Minneapolis Farmers Market, the area just west of downtown is dominated by warehouses and industrial lots.
But the area could be poised for a boom when it gets a stop on the Green Line of the Minneapolis light rail, scheduled to be completed by 2023. Jackson Schwartz saw the potential back in 2016, and he’s spent much of the pandemic prepping for the expansion of his own business and the surrounding neighborhood.
