Being near fully developed, the community of New Brighton must focus its <br />efforts primarily on preservation, renewal, and redevelopment rather than on new <br />growth. However, it must not lose perspective of its location in a major metropolitan <br />area. Communities in metropolitan areas need to work together to accommodate <br />the pros and cons that accompany large population growth. The City of New <br />Brighton sits at the intersection of two major interstates providing excellent access <br />to both Minneapolis and St. Paul. As an inner-ring suburb, New Brighton will play an <br />important role in encouraging and promoting private infill development fully utilizing <br />existing infrastructure, a policy consistent with the goals and policies of Thrive MSP <br />2040.
