For more than 75 years the Saint Paul Port Authority has contributed to the East Metro’s economic growth. Through its unique transactional expertise, the Port assembles parcels of polluted or underutilized inner-city land, cleans them up for redevelopment, and then sells them — usually for $1 — to expansion-minded businesses.

Our partners are vital to our success. Every project we take on requires funding from — and the cooperation of — many public and private groups that invest in the East Metro’s economic health. Each partner lends expertise, time and talent to the mix to clean up the polluted sites. In turn, those sites attract millions of dollars in additional private investment to create new jobs and expand the property tax base.

We also help companies finance their business growth as well as prepare workers, through our workforce development arm, Employer Solutions Inc., for competitive paying jobs with benefits throughout the East Metro.
