Municipal Campus: Fire Station 3 & City Hall/Police Projects
Summary
Fire Station 3 construction is now pushed to about 2030 because the land next to City Hall isn't available yet — frustrating for Morningside residents waiting on faster response times. The city is rethinking the whole site as one 'municipal campus' project.

Impact analysis
Roughly $60 million in bonded debt for the civic campus, with the first levy in 2031.
Morningside and west Edina residents would gain a closer fire station; police staff gain needed space.
