Building Forward Investment Plan
A long-term plan for healthy, safe, and efficient city services.
The City of Golden Valley is committed to providing a wide range of essential services to support the quality of life of all residents.
Over the past several years, the City has been assessing its aging public buildings and determined that the Police, Fire, and Public Works buildings can no longer adequately support efficient delivery of City services to our residents.
Based on resident input and independent analysis, the City is moving forward with a plan that will invest in modernizing its core service operations.
These investments include:
building a new Public Works facility at 6100 Olson Memorial Hwy
building a new Public Safety facility at the Civic Center Campus at 7800 Golden Valley Rd
consolidating Fire Stations #2 and #3 into a new East Fire Station at 1875 Lilac Dr
reimagining the Civic Center Campus, which includes:
the new Public Safety facility
the consideration of a new Hennepin County Library
consideration of a new City Hall
a public plaza
a new water tower

Current Step: Site Acquisition Next Step: Site Design - Design Team Selection
The Golden Valley City Council owns 6100 Olson Memorial Hwy. The City Council approved the purchase price of the adjacent property at 6110 Olson Memorial Hwy on December 16, 2025. Together, these properties cover just over 15 acres and will be home for new Public Works facility. The City hopes to have the Public Works facility completed in 2029. Once complete, the existing Public Works buildings at the Civic Campus will be decommissioned. A more detailed timeline will be available once site acquisition is finalized.
