2026 Downtown Action Series Meetings

Join fellow neighbors for the 2026 Downtown Action Series, an ongoing initiative led by Council President Rebecca Noecker that brings community members together to stay informed, connected, and engaged around the future of downtown Saint Paul.

This series of public meetings provides regular updates and opportunities for dialogue around implementation of Saint Paul’s Downtown Investment Strategy, along with related projects, policies, and partnerships shaping downtown. Whether you’re a downtown resident, business owner, employee, or simply care about downtown’s future—your engagement matters.

Together, we’ll share updates, hear from partners across sectors, and create space for collaboration and problem-solving as we continue building a more vibrant, inclusive, and thriving downtown. Please feel free to share this invitation and bring others who care about downtown’s future—the more people at the table, the stronger our path forward.

Let’s keep shaping the future of downtown—together. We hope to see you there.
