Capital City Partnership’s vision is to achieve and maintain Saint Paul as a vibrant, healthy, and
livable city for the people who work, live, shop, and visit here, by preserving and enhancing a vital,
growing, and attractive downtown core. The vision is that Saint Paul is the center of the East-metro
region for commerce, culture, entertainment, and retail, with the downtown streets of our Capital
City filled with people. It is a city with a distinguished past and an even more promising future.
To achieve our vision, Capital City Partnership developed a five-step city building process as indicated
in the virtuous cycle diagram below.
