I’m not so sure we would have had the vision to move 2,500 employees to a campus
in Phillips four years ago…but we were convinced that real progress was being
made.” Jim Campbell, chief executive officer, Wells Fargo Bank
The Phillips Partnership was created in the spring of 1997 to improve the long-term
livability and health of the Phillips neighborhood. The Partnership includes Abbott
Northwestern Hospital, Wells Fargo Bank, Hennepin County, the City of Minneapolis,
the Metropolitan Council, Children’s Hospitals and Clinics - Minneapolis, the
Minneapolis Foundation and Fannie Mae.
Since 1997, the Phillips Partnership has mobilized more than $30 million for investment
in four core strategies:
Public Safety: Phillips is a safer neighborhood today. Serious crime
is down 40 percent in the last five years, since 14 different law enforcement
agencies began coordinating efforts. See
more information on public safety.
Jobs: A basic-skills training program called Train
To Work and a college-credit training program called the Health
Careers Institute are creating hundreds of employment opportunities.
Housing: The Joseph
Selvaggio Initiative raised $7.5 million for single-family and multiple-family
housing improvements in an eight-block area west of Abbott Northwestern Hospital.
