Sustainability in South St. Paul

South St. Paul values its natural resources and open spaces. Our city is committed to protecting these assets and creating a more sustainable future for residents, businesses, and visitors.

We work toward this goal through:

  • Comprehensive planning that integrates sustainability goals into land use and development decisions,
  • GreenStep Cities participation, helping us track progress on energy, waste, and environmental best practices, and
  • Community initiatives such as reusable bag programs at the Farmer’s Market and stormwater improvements in local parks.

These efforts reflect our ongoing commitment to environmental stewardship and responsible city planning.
