About Me
- Save Our Businesses & Jobs!
- The Save Our Businesses & Jobs Committee is a group of small business owners on University Avenue concerned about the impact of Central Corridor light rail on businesses and jobs. ANYBODY CAN JOIN SOBJ. We can be reached by email: SaveOurBizJobs@gmail.com. Light rail transit is coming to University Avenue in St. Paul beginning in 2010. Light rail construction will disrupt and obstruct the day-to-day operation of small businesses on University Avenue. Small businesses will lose revenues because they will be forced to close for construction or customers won’t have access. After construction, most of the on-street parking that many small businesses depend on will be eliminated; fees and taxes will increase; new competition will arise; real estate speculation could take place. No wonder small business owners are afraid of light rail. Their jobs and livelihood are on the line. How will small businesses on University Avenue survive?
