Revitalizing St. Paul Neighborhoods with your Voice

This weekend I went to the St. Paul home tour (mainly the houses on the East Side and in the Dayton Bluff’s area) and noticed how nice these St. Paul neighborhoods are becoming. As I was going through these houses and neighborhoods, I was thinking about the individual(s) who saw the potential for these neighborhoods. I was thinking about what actions they took to get these neighborhoods back to flourishing as it has before. 

As I reflect on the tour, I thought about the East SideProsperity Campaign (ESPC) and the East Side neighborhood in general. I thought about the people who live in the community and how important it is for them to be active in the community in which they live. The ESPC is all about getting the East Side to thrive again as it once has.

It is very important that the people living on the East Side participate in this change in progress; as they are the people who will be living in the community. It is so important that they speak up and have their voices heard because it is their community and what they have to say will contribute to the success of the East Side. The East Side will become what the community wants it to be. 

Join the ESPC in their meetings and speak up. Share your ideas, your values and what you want to see in the East Side Community. Help the ESPC in making the East Side thrive once again.
