Working to encourage economic prosperity and business development in St. Paul
To serve as a consolidated voice representing local micro, small, and medium sized businesses, advocate positive change, and build a rich pro-business climate in Saint Paul and surrounding areas.
Thanks to the effort of the Capital City Business Council, it’s members and supporters, the dedication of many of the small business and property owners along the Central Corridor LRT route, and all the supporters of the coalition to Defer, Defund, or Defeat the Central Corridor Light Rail Transit; the Met Council decided to increase financial assistance to $11.1 million for businesses that are struggling during construction of the Central Corridor light-rail project. Although this is a small step on our mission to completely defeat the entire project, the increase in financial assistance will hopefully prevent dozens of businesses from having to close down shop for good before the construction can be stopped.
