As Stearns County progresses in the design of the new Justice Center, we want to meet with residents to share updates and gather feedback. Residents are invited to participate in one of our community engagement sessions. These meetings will provide an opportunity for citizens to review design concepts, discuss project plans, and share feedback. Community input is a key part of the planning process, and the county is eager to hear from residents.
Each session will feature an open-house format where attendees can arrive and leave at any time, walk around, view various plans, and speak one-on-one with commissioners and county staff. A highlight of the meetings will be a virtual walkthrough of the designed facility – offering an immersive experience that makes it feel like you’re walking through the building itself.
Public meetings will be held at the following locations:
• April 1 – Cold Spring City Hall.
• April 16 – Freeport Community Center.
• April 30 – St. Cloud Great River Regional Library, Bremer Room #104.
All meetings will take place from 5:30-7 p.m. Residents are encouraged to attend the session most convenient for them.
Stearns County encourages residents to attend and participate in the discussion. These sessions are an opportunity to ensure the new Justice Center meets the needs of the community while providing a modern and efficient space for justice services.
