PROJECTS
Three capital projects will transform Saint Paul’s riverfront into centers of river-oriented activity that provide diverse, authentic landscapes and experiences.
Mississippi River Learning Center
The combined Mississippi River Learning Center and proposed National Park Service Headquarters and Visitor Center will be a one-of-a-kind national hub of Mississippi River-focused recreation, education and environmental stewardship.
River Balcony
The River Balcony is a proposed 1.5-mile promenade along downtown Saint Paul’s river bluff, connecting public spaces, civic landmarks, and development sites, providing new connections to the river and sparking economic development along the riverfront.
East Side River District
East of downtown Saint Paul, the 1,000-acre East Side River District is a dynamic urban landscape where historically incompatible uses can comfortably coexist and:
- Reveal the complex systems and stories of the area
- Heal a compromised landscape
- Connect to and throughout the area
- Protect sacred and significant Dakota sites
