The Highland District Council (HDC) is recognized by the City of St. Paul as the official citizen participation organization for the residents, businesses, and institutions in District 15. Our organization helps identify and organize around community-based initiatives and advocate for our residents. We listen, inquire, plan, and act on a wide range of matters, including zoning, land use, transportation, capital spending, and environmental sustainability issues. We also partner with local businesses and other city services to host events throughout the year.
