We saw a lot of new business construction in West St. Paul this past year—will that pace continue?
Robert Street is an economic engine and has historically withstood economic downturns. So I do think we will continue to see new businesses in West St. Paul even if we see a recession. We continue to receive calls from various businesses and restaurants looking to locate in West St. Paul as property becomes available and continue recruiting efforts for certain uses that the community wants to see.
