Mississippi Corridor Neighborhood Coalition

Your Local Environmental Organization

The Mississippi Corridor Neighborhood Coalition (MCNC) is your local Mississippi River environmental watchdog group. We actively engage in advocacy and education on behalf of the local residents and the many natural eco-communities who rely on the Mississippi River.

MCNC was formed in 1993 with support from community groups in North and Northeast Minneapolis. Since then, our membership has grown to 20 neighborhoods and many individuals, and includes people from all over the metropolitan area who want to see a restored and protected Mississippi River. In addition MCNC works with many environmental non-profits throughout the metro area.

Focused on the Upper Mississippi River in Minneapolis

Our major focus area is the upper river corridor, above Saint Anthony Falls to the north city limits. This is the most industrialized section of the river in Minneapolis and has been the most neglected by public officials for more than 150 years.
