The Heights Community Engagement Workgroups
The City’s Master Plan is approved and it’s our job to bring this plan to life. During this time, we will work with community members to gather feedback that will guide development decisions. To accomplish this goal, we will host a number of topic-specific workshops with residents from both Saint Paul and Maplewood.
