Dear Paris,


Next week we've got a full round of engagement for you starting with City Budget with Mayor Carter @ Caydence on Tuesday May 13. Then we've got East Side Connect! May 15 working to "Keep it Open on Arcade" by supporting businesses in the construction zone. Come share ideas and hear what we've got in store. For ESABA, both of these touch on this Big Idea - "good viable businesses on the avenue are the key to prosperity and bring in property taxes and sales taxes." If you want to balance the budget, invest in community economic development that puts St. Paul Small Businesses on the map and keeps them thriving. That's betting on St. Paul that turns out hits year after year. Come share your ideas as well!


Be on the lookout for your invoice from ESABA for 2025 Membership. They go out today! (If everything goes as planned...)
