About OurBlock Network
OurBlock is a community demand pilot. We help communities show what they want to see in their empty storefronts and buildings, and we help local entrepreneurs, property owners, and cities act on it.
Why we started
Vacant storefronts are everywhere, and the people who live nearby usually have ideas about what would work. Those ideas rarely reach the people who can act on them. OurBlock gives neighbors a simple way to vote, and gives entrepreneurs, property owners, and city leaders a clear picture of the demand.
Who is behind OurBlock
OurBlock is a Minnesota pilot led by a small team. A working group decides which properties are listed.
