Release: Mayor Coleman applauds Council action adopting budget for Lowertown ballpark

SAINT PAUL – The City Council today unanimously adopted a formal budget for a Lowertown Regional Ballpark. Last week, Saint Paul applied for $27 million from the fund allocated to DEED in the 2012 bonding bill, the same amount Governor Dayton recommended in his original bonding bill proposal.

“With today’s council action, we are nearing the final step in building what will become a centerpiece in our community,” Mayor Chris Coleman said. “This ballpark will bring thousands of visitors to downtown yearly, will add millions of dollars to our local economy, will create hundreds of jobs, and will support youth sporting leagues from across Minnesota. Rarely do we come across a project that combines economy, community and jobs so seamlessly.”
