 | | 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 affirmed by the Board of Regents in December 2006.
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.
