May 2016 This project has been financed in part with funds provided by the State of Minnesota from the Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund through the Minnesota Historical Society. Saint Paul African American Historic and Cultural Context ABSTRACT Saint Paul’s African American community is long established—rooted, yet dynamic. From their beginnings, Blacks in Minnesota have had tremendous impact on the state’s economy, culture, and political development. Although there has been an African American presence in Saint Paul for more than 150 years, adequate research has not been completed to account for and protect sites with significance to the community. One of the objectives outlined in the City of Saint Paul’s 2009 Historic Preservation Plan is the development of historic contexts “for the most threatened resource types and areas,” including immigrant and ethnic communities (City of Saint Paul 2009:12). The primary objective for development of this Saint Paul African American Historic and Cultural Context Project (Context Study) was to lay a solid foundation for identification of key sites of historic significance and advancing preservation of these sites and the community’s stories.

    Central Station Block Design Guidelines

    DEPARTMENT OF PLANNING & ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT Jonathan Sage-Martinson, Director CITY OF SAINT PAUL 25 West Fourth Street Telephone: 651-266-6565 Christopher B. Coleman, Mayor Saint Paul, MN 55102 Facsimile: 651-266-6549 DATE: March 3, 2017 TO: Planning Commission FROM: Comprehensive Planning Committee SUBJECT: Central Station Block Design Guidelines BACKGROUND The Central Station Block is bounded by Cedar, Minnesota, 5th and 4th streets in downtown Saint Paul. It is the location of Central Station, one of the three busiest LRT stations along the Green Line. In 2006, the environmental review process for the Green Line determined that there is a district in downtown, the Saint Paul Urban Renewal Historic District, that is eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places. Central Station Block sits at the center of the Urban Renewal Historic District. Building Central Station and putting the LRT tracks at a diagonal through the block required the demolition of the First Federal Savings and Loan Building at 360 Cedar Street, a contributing building within the Urban Renewal Historic District. Demolition of the building was found to constitute an “adverse effect” on the District, requiring mitigation before the LRT project could proceed. The mitigation agreed to by all parties involved in the project was preparation of redevelopment design guidelines for the Central Station Block. The design guidelines will guide future development so that it is compatible with the defining features of the Urban Renewal Historic District, as well as those of adjacent, early 20th century buildings also determined eligible for the National Register, such as the St.

    2019 June Rise Reporter

    RISE REPORTER JUNE 2019 | VOL. 43, NO. 2 Kit Carlson works second shift at Mikros Engineering in Brooklyn Park. Read about other people who have found great jobs at Mikros on page 11. RISE REPORTER JUNE 2019 | VOL. 43, NO. 2 A LETTER FROM PRESIDENT LYNN NOREN On June 5, I celebrate my 40th anniversary at Rise -- and it brings me so much joy! I feel truly fortunate to have that long perspective on this organization and the critical services we offer. In looking back through the years, it is remarkable to me to realize where we are at today compared to 40 years ago. I am honored to serve Rise with a tremendous leadership and staff team who make our mission come alive in their daily work. I can’t imagine anything better than working in an organization which supports people in living their best lives every day. As we go to press with this issue of the Reporter, we continue to await the final action by the Minnesota State Legislature. The session passed its scheduled end-date without completing the spending bills, so we are waiting to find out the final funding decisions. It’s remarkable that Rise’s livelihood is so dependent on what happens legislatively, but as a provider of services to people who have disabilities, legislative action determines our future. We do know that the Department of Health and Human Services is the only area of Minnesota’s budget that, in the final negotiated budget agreement, received a cut -- a really substantial cut of $357 million for 2020/2021 as well an additional $557 million for the following biennium.
