The Planning and Economic Development Department (PED) administers a variety of planning, housing, business and economic development activities. These activities support a number of neighborhood initiatives and also provide direct benefits to home owners, home buyers, renters and businesses. Working in partnership with community and neighborhood partners, we increase investment and values throughout Saint Paul. It is our goal to ensure Saint Paul is the most livable city in America.

SAINT PAUL 2015 VISION

In the midst of one of the toughest economic climates in decades, obstacles are presented that few of us have seen. Our vision of what Saint Paul will be in 2015, though, remains clear.
