St. Paul's Midway Stadium redevelopment, the Schmidt Brewery keg

The grants total $3.3 million for redevelopment projects in seven  
cities. They'll help clean up a combined 70 acres, create or retain  
1,500 jobs and encourage more than $178 million in private  
investment, the Metropolitan Council said in a news release.

The Council received 21 applications this funding round, requesting a  
total of $5.7 million for brownfield cleanup and investigation.

baseball stadium. Bloomington-based United Properties and the St.
