Have you seen the recent report, "Industrial Land Use in Saint Paul, Minnesota," released by ICIC's research team? The study found that light industrial businesses, like breweries and small manufacturers, provide high-paying jobs without requiring postsecondary education. Despite providing significant value to the community, negative perceptions and real estate pressures threaten light industry by pushing for residential or retail conversions. ICIC's research (2022-2024), sponsored by the Saint Paul Port Authority, highlights the vital role of these businesses: 🔹 Light industrial properties return $1.45 for each city dollar spent. 🔹 Industrial jobs pay higher average wages than non-industrial ones. 🔹 Industrial jobs are spreading beyond historic hubs. 🔹 Businesses located in the Port Authority’s redevelopment projects supported $9.3B in economic activity and 43,491 jobs in 2022.
