This month, we’re proud to celebrate the grand opening of The Williams, a meaningful milestone for Project for Pride in Living and for the East Side of Saint Paul.
As PPL celebrates the Grand Opening of The Williams, we mark more than the completion of a new building. We honor a legacy shaped by generations of community care, resilience, and service. Paul Williams, former President and CEO of PPL, retired in January 2025 after more than a decade of leadership. While he has stepped away from day-to-day operations, his life’s work and his family’s history continues through this place and the people who now call it home.
The Minneapolis/St. Paul Business Journal recognizes PPL President and CEO Karla Henderson among the region’s most influential new leaders shaping Minnesota’s future.
