Hello friends!
It was a newsworthy week for the City of Saint Paul. Not only did City Council pass the Mayor's budget, which includes significant investment in downtown, but our longest serving councilmember also announced his retirement. Thank you Councilmember Bostrom for your 22 years of service to the people of Saint Paul!
This week also marks six months on the job for me here at the Alliance. The Saint Paul & Minnesota Foundations were kind enough to sit down with me to reflect on those six months and our focus as an organization - you can read it

. I am proud of the work we have done so far and look forward to the work we will do in the months and years to come.
Wishing you all safe and very happy holidays!
See you all around (down)town,
Joe Spencer
President
The Saint Paul Downtown Alliance
