A deep look at Minneapolis's Green Zone framework and how city, county, and state funding can be aligned to reach residents who have historically been bypassed by energy programs.

A working session on Minnesota's pending HOMES rebate program, the 4d Affordable Housing Incentive Program, and how local and state administrators can coordinate to maximize reach.

Structured table discussions on the three most cited implementation barriers. Findings are captured and fed into the afternoon sessions.

1:30 PM - 2:30 PM

Case studies from cities that have codified renter protections into retrofit programs — and what a Minneapolis ordinance framework could look like.

2:30 PM - 3:30 PM

How local hire, prevailing wage, and workforce equity requirements can be embedded into retrofit programs — turning energy policy into economic development for Green Zone neighborhoods.

3:30 PM - 4:30 PM

A structured commitment session — each participating agency identifies one concrete next step. Published as a shared action summary within 30 days of the summit.

4:30 PM - 5:30 PM
