Macalester-Groveland Community Plan

Help the MGCC out by participating in their community planning process! And help SARPA out by indicating that "historic preservation" is one of your top issues! Win-win!

Planning for 2023:

The Macalester Groveland Community Council (MGCC) is working hard on your behalf to fulfill its mission: Fostering citizen participation in government and community decisions that make our neighborhood a desirable place to live, work, learn and play. A key focus of MGCC’s work for the next 16 months is the revision of our neighborhood’s community plan. This plan, revised every ten years, becomes part of the City of St. Paul’s plan. With the force of law, it will guide development in our neighborhood for the next decade. Do you remember what our neighborhood was like ten years ago? How about twenty years ago? Thirty? Forty? What changes have been made in the last decade which we now take for granted? Think smart phones, tablet computing, wi-fi. What do we want this neighborhood to be like in 2023? What steps do we need to take now so that it continues to be a desirable place to live, work, learn, play?

Through December 31st, we are asking neighborhood stakeholders four questions:

1. What do you love about the Macalester-Groveland neighborhood that is essential to keep?

2. What might we improve over the next 10 years?

3. What should we start or create in Mac-Groveland that isn’t here now?

4. What should we stop doing?

We want to hear from you: homeowners and renters, business owners and workers, students, representatives of educational and faith institutions and many others are critical to this process.

Help shape the future of this great neighborhood as we plan for the next decade. To participate online through December 31st, go to www.surveymonkey.com/s/macgroveplan.
