Marking Earth Day, Mayors Chris Coleman of Saint Paul and R.T. Rybak, joined by leaders from government, labor, business, academia, and environmental groups, released a study on April 22, 2008 that provided a blueprint for both cities to pursue green manufacturing opportunities and take advantage of the expanding business sectors around green products and design.

The study, Making It Green in Minneapolis Saint Paul, authored by Candace Campbell of CDC Associates, examines three green manufacturing sectors and outlines strategies for the two cities to capitalize on those sectors' potential.
