The Rosemount City Council meeting on May 20, 2025, highlighted significant upcoming community events and infrastructure developments, with a focus on enhancing public engagement and communication.
One of the key announcements was the upcoming open house for the new police and public works campus, scheduled for June 1. This family-friendly event will allow residents to tour the facility, showcasing how taxpayer dollars have been utilized. Council members expressed excitement about the project, emphasizing the importance of community involvement. "We’re really excited to show off this project and show taxpayers what their tax dollars got them," said a council member, inviting the public to participate in guided and self-guided tours.
Additionally, the council discussed ongoing road construction, particularly the full closure of Highway 3. An internal team has been formed to assist local businesses in communicating access routes to their customers during the construction period. The council plans to door knock businesses to ensure they are prepared for the changes. "Everything will be accessible. There’ll be some roundabout ways to get there," a council member assured.
The meeting also served as a reminder for residents about an open house hosted by MnDOT at Rosemount High School on May 21, focusing on the Highway 3 entrance roundabout project. This construction is set to begin shortly after the school year ends, and the council is actively promoting the event to ensure public awareness.
In conclusion, the Rosemount City Council is committed to keeping residents informed and engaged as the community prepares for significant infrastructure changes and celebrates new facilities. The June 1 open house promises to be a highlight, offering a chance for residents to connect with their local government and see the results of recent investments firsthand.
