The race to host the 2027 World EXPO has started.
Bloomington, Minnesota is an early front runner, campaigning on “Healthy People, Healthy Planet – Wellness and Well Being for All.”
The Bureau of International Expositions (BIE) said Minnesota USA Expo 2027’s bid is advancing to the next stage.
This is the first time the BIE has moved forward with a US bid for over 40 years.
A Bloomington World EXPO could create 33,000 jobs and generate $700 million in new spending.
DLR Group is the design team behind the Bloomington bid, tasked with ‘showcasing the community on a global scale.’
If successful, DLR Group will become the overall Expo design coordinator and master architect.
DLR and city officials will create blueprints for the design and construction of more than 130 country exhibits/pavilions.
