Saint Paul's Economic Health

Confidence in Saint Paul’s future has led to significant investment in Minnesota’s Capital City. Since 1998, over $3 billion of major new investment has been completed in downtown Saint Paul, with an additional $3 billion of investments planned through 2014. Saint Paul has become a thriving, livable, and vibrant downtown core that is the center of the east metro region and a Capital City that all Minnesotan’s are proud of.

In 2001, for the first time in history, Saint Paul received Standard and Poor’s AAA bond rating indicating the highest level of confidence in the city’s financial health. It has been reaffirmed each subsequent year. Moody’s has maintained its Aa2 rating.
