In May, 2002 Saint Paul was named as a demonstration site in the National Trust for Historic Preservation’s Preservation Development Initiatives (PDI) program. The PDI program, made possible by funding from the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation, is designed to incorporate historic preservation into community and economic development strategies.

Historic Saint Paul submitted the proposal to participate in the PDI program as part of its ongoing mission to encourage historic preservation in Saint Paul.

As part of the PDI process, a team was assembled in November, 2002 to assess opportunities for preservation-based community and economic development in Saint Paul. The Preservation Development Assessment Report represents the observations and recommended strategies by the multi-disciplinary team.
