Minneapolis City Council Approves New Site for 3rd Police Precinct
The Minneapolis City Council has approved the purchase of a new location for the police's 3rd Precinct, which was burned down during protests following the murder of George Floyd in 2020. The new site, located on the 2600 block of Minnehaha Avenue, is about a half-mile north of the previous building. The construction of the new facility is estimated to cost over $14 million and could be ready for police to move in by the end of 2024.
