The East Bde Maka Ska Board is an elected group of people from the East Bde Maka Ska neighborhood. Our goal is to enhance and maintain our unique part of Uptown and southwest Minneapolis.
We work with those in the community to help, advise and assist them to reach this common goal. Our meetings are open to the public, and we welcome all input by our neighbors, both residents and those who have business interests in the area.
