Congratulations to Large Business of the Year Winner Saint Paul Port Authority

Tonya Bauer and Todd Hurley

The Saint Paul Port Authority is a leader in development and job creation. The Heights project has the potential to the biggest commercial real estate opportunity in the history of Saint Paul’s East Side, having a goal of 1,000 jobs.

The Port has also been a great source of information to our members and many others. In 2023, they sponsored six continuing education courses for Real Estate professionals which were held at venues like Chamber member Urban Growler Brewing.

Midway Chamber Coffee Club @ Yellowbird Coffee Bar

In the summer of 2019, St. Paul’s Lex-Ham (Lexington-Hamline) neighborhood welcomed Yellowbird Coffee Bar to their community. The shop is a testament to the power of genuine connections and a community’s dedication to supporting their neighbors. Reflective of local flair as locally sourced, Yellowbird’s menu is filled with unique flavors, offering a wide range of hot and cold espresso drinks, drip coffee, tea, sandwiches, soup, and pastries. A refreshingly moist banana chip muffin or a delectable chocolate croissant pairs perfectly with a cup of coffee.
