Thrive MSP is the Twin Cities region’s long-range planning effort. This plan will provide a regional vision for the 7-county metropolitan area for the next 30 years. 

About Thrive MSP

The Thrive MSP effort aims to position the Twin Cities region to achieve the following elements:

• Maximize opportunities for growth and prosperity in the coming decades
• Create a regional vision for everyone: residents, business owners, local officials, community leaders
• Define and achieve regional goals that may be too big for one community, but possible to accomplish as a region

See the mission, outcomes, principles and goals the Council has established for Thrive MSP 2040.
