Senior Community Planner and Organizer
The Payne-Phalen Community Council (PPCC) in St. Paul seeks a senior community planner/organizer to coordinate and advance our organization’s community planning and environmental justice aims. We seek a professional who can plan and conduct deep engagement within our many diverse communities. PPCC looks to hire a leader to work in community to develop knowledge, insights and solutions related to sustainable transportation, clean energy, improved air quality, and mindful city planning at the grass roots level. A critical part of PPCC’s work is our partnership with HOURCAR, a Twin Cities based non-profit that offers car sharing services, especially in low resource, transit-dependent communities. Along with HOURCAR, PPCC’s collaboration includes the American Lung Association, the City of St. Paul, other district councils, neighborhood groups and community coalitions. Review of resumes will begin on November 25th.

Hamm’s Development Joint Statement
April 29, 2022 – Over the last six months, many community members participated in healthy and productive conversations related to the redevelopment of the Hamm’s Brewery Complex. In the last week, the six organizations who got the community conversation started last November, worked together to craft a joint letter to the City Hamm’s RFP–Joint Statement on Community Values. The letter attempts to capture the values and ideas we heard while working in community on this project. We worked hard to capture the breadth of our many conversations awhile balancing the many bright ideas and fine threads we discussed in multiple meetings. We sent the joint letter yesterday so that a record of community conversations would be available to the City as they start their internal review process.
If you would like to sign on, please e-mail your name and address, your title, and your organization to district5@paynephalen.org We’ll collect up additional names and resend the letter to the HRA next Thursday.
