Minnesota House lawmakers will take up a proposal on Thursday for some major renovations to Downtown St. Paul.

The costs for renovations are estimated at $769 million. The city is asking the state to pay for half of those costs, with the Minnesota Wild owner funding 30% and the city putting forward the other 20%. City officials said this is its top priority for the 2025 legislative session.

The home of the Minnesota Wild needs a facelift, and officials with both Xcel Energy Center and the City of St. Paul are looking for the state to pay for at least half of it.
