Why is redevelopment important to the community?  

Redevelopment helps St. Joseph strengthen its economy, preserve its character, and address properties that might otherwise sit vacant or underused. It creates opportunities to attract new businesses, expand housing options, and improve public spaces, all while building on the community’s existing strengths. Redevelopment also helps maintain the city’s long-term vitality by making sure that investment complements St. Joseph’s identity and enhances the quality of life for residents.
