St. Joe

St. Joseph still considers itself a small town despite a population of more than 7,000. St. Joe Mayor Rick Schultz joined me on WJON to reflect on his time as Mayor and some of the turning points the community has had over the years.

Anoka, Minnesota has a social district and St. Joseph Mayor Rick Schultz says they are looking at that as a potential option for their community. A "Social District" is a specific area which allows people to purchase and drink beer, wine, or a cocktail from a licensed business and walk through a defined area of the city including public spaces such as a sidewalk or street to allow for participation in a district event/activity.

The city of St. Joseph continues to have a small town feel but their growth both commercially and residentially has transformed the community. St. Joe Mayor Rick Schultz joined me on WJON. He says the demographics of the community are all over the board ranging from young college kids to families to senior citizens.
