Minneapolis based Honeywell today announced it will be acquired by New Jersey based Allied Signal. The new company's corporate headquarters will be in Morristown, New Jersey, but it will keep the Honeywell name. Investors cheered the 15 billion dollar deal, sending share prices for both companies soaring. But elected officials and community activists in Minneapolis said the loss of the headquarters was a blow to the city and the inner-city neighborhood where Honeywell has its headquarters.
In 2008, Minnesota's voters passed the Clean Water, Land and Legacy Amendment to the Minnesota Constitution: to protect drinking water sources; to protect, enhance, and restore wetlands, prairies, forests, and fish, game, and wildlife habitat; to preserve arts and cultural heritage; to support parks and trails; and to protect, enhance, and restore lakes, rivers, streams, and groundwater.
Efforts to digitize this initial assortment of thousands of historical audio material was made possible through the Minnesota Legacy Amendment’s Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund. A wide range of Minnesota subject matter is represented within this collection.
