A Vision for the 21st Century

The University of Minnesota Outreach, Research and Education (UMore) Park is a 5,000-acre site 25 miles southeast of the Twin Cities at the suburban-rural interface, near Rosemount, Minnesota.

The vision to build a University-founded community of 20,000-30,000 people at UMore Park, a 25- to 30-year endeavor, was proposed in November 2006.

A concept master plan for the 5,000-acre property has been developed during a year-long process that included extensive public comment, collaborations with local jurisdictions and the University’s overarching commitment to environmental stewardship and its academic mission.

The plan for this new, sustainable community integrates environmental, socio-cultural and economic opportunities with a specific focus on innovations in renewable energy, education and lifelong learning, health and wellness, the natural environment and regional economic development.
