South St. Paul stands strong to preserve open space
FMR would like to thank the South St. Paul City Council and celebrate their recent decision to preserve a city-owned 5-acre site as open space. The site is located near the Mississippi River and adjacent to the Mississippi River Trail scheduled to be constructed in 2017. We applaud the council's rejection of a push to change the largely tree-covered site into a paved industrial railroad storage area.
This is a big win that maintains the city’s commitment to a more public and green riverfront for future generations!
