Greetings!

The Mayor kicked off our budget conversation with this question: "If you could only fund one area of City priorities which would it be? Among the choices were Community Resources, Infrastructure Improvements, or Economic Opportunities. The one that stuck out for our table was “Economic Opportunities.” Join us Thursday at East Side Connect! Critical Corridors to talk about how you and ESABA can make that “economic opportunity” more accessible to the people of the East Side – entrepreneurs and small business owners right here can help us shape the economic vitality of the City, create city revenue, and build our destiny from within. “Betting on St. Paul” is what the Mayor calls this and what he committed to help us do. How do we amplify and deliver on that potential in our City? Come roll those dice.
