Mayor Chris Coleman today (August 17, 2016) released this statement following passage of the Snelling-Midway master plan and site plan for the proposed Major League Soccer stadium by City Council:
“Today marks a huge milestone for Saint Paul and the entire region,” said Mayor Coleman. “We are one step closer to seeing incredible redevelopment in the heart of the Twin Cities – made possible by the catalyst of this proposed stadium – and one step closer to bringing Major League Soccer to Minnesota.
“I want to thank all who were engaged in this process, including the many residents and community groups who weighed in and helped to shape the outcome, as well as the Community Advisory Committee, city staff, the Planning Commission and City Council.”
