Saint Paul file RES 26-1327, before the Saint Paul City Council. Passed as of 2026-08-19.
Latest action: Passed
The developer can build without a project labor agreement The city is letting the 47 Douglas Street housing project move forward without requiring union workers or a labor contract, which may speed up construction and lower costs.
Sets a precedent for other single-family housing projects If this waiver is approved, future redevelopment projects may ask for similar exemptions, potentially reducing union work in the city's housing construction pipeline.
Union workers may have fewer jobs on this project Without a project labor agreement requirement, union construction workers lose the guarantee of access to this job, and the project may hire non-union labor at lower wages.
