MLBA Helping Our License Holders
As of this past Tuesday, June 2nd, the MLBA will be working with Minneapolis Licensing and the Department of Safety and Inspection in St. Paul on one key issue. For those businesses that have been damaged or destroyed in the riots, the MLBA and local licensing bodies will be actively looking for alternative business space to occupy while their original spaces are repaired or rebuilt. Please reach out to me or your local licensing departments to see how this process will work and or what the results will be as this progresses. Both cities are willing to work with those who have been burdened from the destruction. We are here to help you.
Here’s a List of Minneapolis and St. Paul Licensed Retailers Damaged or Destroyed in the Riots of 5/27 – 5/30 and How to Donate and Help Recover
This is just a sampling of license holders that have been damaged, looted or destroyed by the riots in Minneapolis and St. Paul. Please refer to this link from the StarTribune for a complete list. If you know of any places where people can go to donate to these license holders, please send the links to [email protected] and we will post here and on our Facebook page.
