About Downtown Red Wing
Downtown Red Wing sits nestled in the valley of the bluffs along the Mississippi River. It’s home to restaurants, locally owned restaurants, retail, and service businesses. The Historic St. James hotel and the Red Wing Shoe, Co. global headquarters line Main Street.
History runs deeply here, but we are poised to launch into the new decade. Our building stock dates back to the founding of our city, but investment by building owners, the City, and the State has helped bring us to today. However, many of our second-story buildings in downtown are either vacant or underutilized. Some are trapped in the early 1900’s, even.
Red Wing Downtown Main Street is tired of hoping investment will happen and instead we are working to invite investors and developers to our town.
