West Summit Neighborhood Advisory Council

The St. Paul City Council established the West Summit Neighborhood Advisory Council (WSNAC) in August 2004 to collaborate on issues of interest to the University of St. Thomas and the St. Paul residential neighborhoods that surround it.

The WSNAC mission is: “As charged by the St. Paul City Council, the West Summit Neighborhood Advisory Council will bring together neighbors, neighborhood organizations, the University of St. Thomas and city government to collaborate on issues of mutual interest, provide a forum for communications, and create a stronger and more vibrant community.”
