[State - Locality] Minnesota - St. Paul [Initiative Type] Demonstration Project [Link] St. Paul Fire Station Green Roof Is Green Roof For St. Paul's New Fire Station Worth The Cost [Date] Completed [Title & Description] 
Fire Department Station No.1 Green Roof and Porous Pavements - Fire Station No.1 received a 9,000-square-foot green roof on its parking garage in 2010. The green roof will help mitigate the urban heat island effect in St. Paul, reduce the city’s heating and cooling demands, and decrease stormwater management costs. There are 100 different types of native and low-maintenance plant species on the roof, a small pond, and a garden where firefighters grow their own vegetables. The project also includes porous pavements, and an underground cistern that collects rainwater to irrigate the green roof.
