Synopsis:

An old distribution center at the Gillette plant in St. Paul, Minnesota may soon be a maintenance facility. The regional body for the Twin Cities, the Metropolitan Council has voted to move forward with eminent domain proceeds to take over a portion of the now-shuttered site. One third of the site would be taken over which includes the distribution center which will be “retooled.” The factory shut down in 2005 after Gillette had sold off the location. Not only will the building find a new purpose but it will be utilized in the shift towards mass transit. The new light rail system will connect the cities of St. Paul and Minneapolis.
