Midway Chamber of Commerce

The Midway is at the center of the Twin Cities metro region and is true to its name as Midway between the two downtowns.
The Midway is in the midst of a major transformation from historic development patterns that were fed by the area’s unique rail and road infrastructure. The area is moving from an emphasis on heavy manufacturing and warehousing to more intense uses, especially office and light manufacturing.
About 40% of St. Paul’s I-1 land (more than 3,000 acres) is in the Midway; the Midway is home to nearly 20% (more than 450 acres) of the City’s I-2 land.
The Midway is home to more than 75,000 people.
The Midway employs more than 50,000 workers.
The Midway is unique in its proximity to 5 colleges, the University of Minnesota, and St. Paul Technical College…all assuring that the area has ready access to a highly skilled workforce.
The Midway is a major transportation corridor, offering easy access to either downtown, good north/south freeway access, and potentially may host LRT and/or commuter rail.
The Midway contributes about 1/3 of the total commercial/industrial tax base in the city of St. Paul
