Several business owners at 38th Street and Chicago Avenue in Minneapolis have filed a lawsuit against the city and Mayor Jacob Frey demanding $30 million for damages. The lawsuit claims city actions following George Floyd’s murder caused losses in revenue, real estate value and tenant income, ruining local businesses.
Seven additional businesses plan to file similar lawsuits against Minneapolis and Frey, according to business owner Healey.
The area has become a place of pilgrimage for social justice supporters from across the country.
