Beacon Bluff is an exciting public and private partnership that is restoring economic vitality on Saint Paul’s East Side. Located in the historic Dayton’s Bluff neighborhood, this 61-acre site includes the birthplace of industry leader 3M’s Saint Paul headquarters.
Today Beacon Bluff represents a historic venture to return this site to new productive uses for the 21st Century. Land and buildings are now available through the Saint Paul Port Authority and Cassidy Turley.
The Metropolitan Council awarded the Beacon Bluff Business Center $350,000 in clean-up grants under the council's Livable Communities program. The money will be used for soil remediation and soil-vapor mitigation on a 13-acre portion of the business center that was the former 3M Campus in Saint Paul.
