Edina To Host 2nd ‘One Town, One Family’ Conversation June 23

EDINA, MN — Edina’s second “One Town, One Family” conversation is set to bring together members of the community June 23 to talk about how to create a more inclusive city.

City officials partnered with Edina Public Schools, the Chamber of Commerce and the Edina Foundation to host the event. Almost 350 people attended the first “One Town, One Family” event April 14 at Edina High School, officials said.

That conversation produced “stakeholder input and visioning documents” that will be used to develop action steps “to meet the vision for Edina to be the best community for all to live, visit and do business,” officials said.
