For this month’s ADC Business Breakfast Roundtable discussion, we had the pleasure to be joined by St. Paul Mayor, Chris Coleman. The Mayor briefly discussed a number of issues that are currently being addressed in the metro area, including: the Central Corridor light rail project, a joint effort by St. Paul and Minneapolis to market this area for business across the globe, and even the Vikings’ stadium issue. Following his presentation, the Mayor was generous enough to field a number of questions from those present, and engaged in a wonderful discussion.

Here are some photos from the morning’s discussion:
