Scope and Contents of the Materials
The Michael Maidenberg Papers, 1975-2003, consist of materials related to his interest in the economic development of Grand Forks, especially following the 1997 Red River Valley Flood. Most of the material originates from the Downtown Development Commission (DDC), formed in December 1997 to “accommodate, encourage, and assist in the economic, physical, and cultural development” of downtown Grand Forks. The DDC held its final meeting on July 26, 2000, after which it was succeeded by the Downtown Leadership Group. Material related to the DDC includes executive documents, meeting minutes, correspondence, grant and financial information, and subject files.
Miscellaneous materials related to the Re-Imagining Downtown committee, the National Trust for Historic Preservation, and the Grand Forks Greenway are also included.
