Saint Anthony Village Energy Action Plan 7 INTRODUCTION The City of Saint Anthony Village is a first-ring suburb located in the heart of the Twin Cities Metropolitan area. With just over 9,200 residents, Saint Anthony Village offers a uniquely small-town feel in the middle of Minnesota’s largest urban core. City departments offer full services to residents and the wider community with its own Fire and Police departments, Public Works, Finance, Administration, and two municipal liquor stores. It is also home to the geographically smallest independent school district in Minnesota at only 2.6 square miles, Saint Anthony-New Brighton Schools. Saint Anthony Village offers several city-owned parks as well as Three Rivers Park District’s Silverwood Park providing sports, trails, and outdoor recreation opportunities. It is well regarded as a family-friendly community and the City and school district closely collaborate to share spaces for organized sports, along with other amenities like outdoor ice-skating rinks in the winter. With thriving commercial districts at the north and south end of the city, there are abundant options for work and play. Saint Anthony Village takes pride in maintaining high community standards and strives daily to live up to its mission statement: “Promote a high quality of life to those we serve through outstanding city services.” Why an Energy Action Plan The City has prioritized environmental sustainability for many years. The City currently participates in the B3 Benchmarking Program for City facilities, and has several facilities subscribed to Community Solar Gardens. The City has been a member of the MN GreenStep program since its inception and maintains the highest status as a GreenStep 5 City. Maintaining this status involves annual tracking and reporting energy use with an aim of continuous energy efficiency improvements. We completed a city-wide LED Who are we talking about?
