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

    • a new Hennepin County Library

    • consideration of a new City Hall

    • a public plaza

    • a new water tower
