Hennepin County supports transit-oriented development along METRO Blue, Green, Orange, and future Blue Line Extension corridors with grants, station-area planning, and affordable housing tools.
Hennepin County administers Transit Oriented Development grants funded by the county levy, supporting station-area projects in Minneapolis, Bloomington, Hopkins, and Brooklyn Park. Cities adopt overlay zoning around METRO Blue Line, Green Line, Orange Line BRT, and the planned Blue Line Extension to allow higher density, reduced parking, and ground-floor activation. Met Council Livable Communities Act funds also flow through the county. Affordable housing requirements vary by city, with Minneapolis 2040 and Bloomington South Loop plans setting strong inclusionary targets. Hennepin County also coordinates park-and-ride, bike, and pedestrian connections along county highways.
Compliance is enforced through city zoning and grant agreements rather than direct county fines.
