Letter to Mayor Carter and Council Member Noecker re: Grand Ave. Vacancies

In partnership with the Grand Avenue Business Association (GABA), SHA has requested an urgent meeting with City of Saint Paul elected officials and staff to address economic development on Grand Avenue.

This letter comes after repeated attempts over several years to work in partnership with the City, residents, other neighborhood organizations, and business partners to ensure a safe, vibrant Grand Avenue corridor.

The drumbeat of headlines related to Grand Avenue closures have brought these years of discussion to a head. SHA is committed to bringing economic development, public safety, and community development experts together to find real solutions through the Grand Avenue Working Group.
