Working partnerships with local organizations
The CapitolRiver Council (CRC) works with local government elected officials and staff to encourage residents and other stakeholders to provide input on decisions that will affect them. Local government entities that work in partnership with CRC include the City of Saint Paul, Metro Transit, and Ramsey County.
Many local organizations engage the public and help identify issues and potential solutions that will continue making District 17 (downtown and the Capitol area) a great place to live, work and visit. Our engagement efforts benefit through current and former members of our board of directors and committees who work for organizations in District 17. Here is a partial list of organizations that have helped make our engagement more effective by being engaged in our work:
