Giving back to the community by Luke Nichols, PLA, HGA
In 2021, a few longtime residents banded together to form a non-profit called the Como Community Center (CCC) to save the Como Congregational Church, a Queen Anne-style historic structure built in 1886, from demolition. Urban Canopies, a local developer, owns the rear annex and was the first to express interest in renewing it. CCC manages the donated sanctuary and grounds. With the backing of the neighborhood, they acquired the building and were awarded a zoning variance to convert the rear annex into multiple rental units in 2022. HGA, a landscape architecture firm in Minneapolis, Minnesota, offers a two-day Design Workshop that provides pro-bono design services to local non-profits through an intense, all-day design charette. The workshop began with a tour of the grounds and historic structure and culminated in a final presentation of the team's work.
