Steve Sandberg
Board of Directors
Steve has owned his home in East Phillips for over 13 years, but has actually lived near East Lake Street the past 40 years. A talented musician, Steve plays trombone, repairs instruments, plays in multiple bands, and has led his band in the Mayday Parade for 40 years.
Steve has been a neighborhood activist and community organizer for decades, supporting racial and environmental justice in East Phillips. He is focused on reducing harmful pollution in East Phillips and growing community participation in local government. Steve has served on the EPNI board for three years.
He is excited to be a part of the East Phillips Indoor Urban Farm project, which will create affordable and environmentally sensitive housing, year round organic food production, green jobs, and entrepreneurial training for local youth. It will be an inclusive space on our Greenway, where all cultural groups are welcome to gather and share their history, art, and food traditions. Steve is especially focused on creating a community plan that reduces pollution in the currently overburdened East Phillips neighborhood.
