What it does

New business projects and jobs coming to your neighborhood Seventeen projects approved under the STAR program will bring commercial development, potential job openings, and increased economic activity to specific St. Paul locations.

The bigger picture

City tax base and local revenue could grow New commercial projects typically generate property tax revenue and sales tax for the city, which can fund schools, parks, and other public services.

What to watch

Some projects may require tax breaks or public subsidy STAR program projects often receive tax abatements or other incentives to attract development, which means the city forgoes some revenue in the short term to encourage growth.
