History
The Pilot City Regional Center provided a variety of services to residents of north Minneapolis. It was the headquarters for the Pilot City Program, which was created by the city of Minneapolis in 1967. The center was located at 1108 West Broadway.
The Pilot City Program was created as a result of a survey designed by the City of Minneapolis to identify and solve problems in the inner city. The community action program adopted in 1967 based on the results of the survey was called Decision 1967. The city took advantage of federal resources made available through the Neighborhood Services Program initiated by President Lyndon Johnson. âPilot City Programâ was the name of the program submitted to and approved by the federal government.
The policy making board was called Technical Advisory Committee to Implement Community Services (TACTICS) and was composed of 32 elected residents.
The purpose of TACTICS was to help to community of North Minneapolis to mobilize its resource to provide health, legal, social and related services through the establishment and operation of a Pilot City Regional Center and to determine policies and implement the procedures necessary for the coordination of funds to provide financial assistance to the North Minneapolis community for the development, conduct and administration of such a multi-service regional center.
