Millions in public, private aid help rebuilding in St. Paul s riot-damaged Midway
Star Tribune (Minneapolis, MN)
The only way Solomon Hailie could bring back his
St. Paul restaurant after its destruction in last year s civil unrest was to leave the Midway neighborhood. Our goal was to stay, but we couldn t find anything [along
University Avenue], Hailie said. So he moved Bolé Ethiopian Cuisine to a building he bought 2 miles away near the
State Fairgrounds.
Businesses on a hard-hit stretch of
University Avenue are rebuilding, nearly a year after the riots following the death of
George Floyd left more than 70 businesses damaged, more than a dozen of them with serious fire damage.
