Friends,
For as long as there has been a Saint Paul Downtown Alliance, and even before then, downtown Saint Paul has benefited in immeasurable ways from its close partnership with Knight Foundation as one of 26 "Knight cities" across the country.
This week Knight brought together dozens of Saint Paul individuals and community leaders that they have partnered with over the years to provide an opportunity to meet and learn from one another. It was great to see so many familiar faces that we've worked with before, but even better to meet new entrepreneurs, organizations and innovators who are just as passionate as we are about the future of downtown. Our thanks as well to Jeff Aguy, founder of 2043, for hosting in his new space at Treasure Island Center (the very first Grow Downtown tenant!).
As part of their ongoing work in downtown, Knight is inviting you to complete their downtown Saint Paul perception survey. The survey seeks to assess your experiences and perceptions of downtown and as members of our community, your input is vital. Please feel free to share the survey with your network. Our shared goal is to gather responses from a diverse group of Saint Paul residents, employees and visitors who are interested in the success of our downtown. We're eager to collaborate with Knight on the survey's findings to develop programming for downtown.
Keep reading for more news from around downtown this week (did you know there's a fashion show in the skyway this weekend?) and an event update that reminds us the holiday season is here!
Take care,
Joe
