St. Paul, MN
The Payne-Maryland Neighborhood and several longstanding organizations on Saint Paul's east side are at a critical
juncture in their evolution. To establish a roadmap for the future, the City of Saint Paul commissioned a team of
consultants led by Hoisington Koegler Group to prepare a visionary and strategic plan. The effort includes Saint
Paul Parks and Recreation, Saint Paul Public Libraries, Merrick Community Services, Arlington Hills Lutheran Church,
and Bradshaw Funeral Homes. This group is working in a unique partnership to explore their collective futures and
determine how they can pool resources to keep a relevant presence in the neighborhood through the next generation.

HKGi employed a "design charrette" approach to the project in order to integrate the community into the process of
exploring and refining concept alternatives. The outcome of the effort suggests what may be the most sustainable
commercial development in Minnesota with green roofs, solar panels, rainwater capture and reuse, wind turbines
and stormwater infiltration. The final product is part vision and part strategy that points the way toward implementing
this one-of-a kind and ground-breaking public/private endeavor.
