There are a number of informational meetings coming up in the next few weeks for various road construction and development projects across West St. Paul. These are opportunities to learn about upcoming projects, ask questions, and give feedback.
Neighbor Meeting for 424 Butler Ave. E. Redevelopment
- When & where: Monday, November 18 from 5:30-6:30 p.m. at Dakota Lodge in Thompson Park.
- Project: The city’s Economic Development Authority approved the purchase of a single-family property at 424 Butler Avenue East, in part to stop the development of a 50-70 unit apartment building. The city plans to explore development options, which include down grading zoning and doing a smaller project, potentially single-level townhomes. This is an early meeting designed for immediate neighbors who would be impacted by the zoning change and is not an open house.
