BONDING TOUR INCLUDES PRESENTATION ON
COTTAGE GROVE REGIONAL PUBLIC SAFETY TRAINING CENTER
The House Capital Investment Committee will visit St. Paul on Tuesday to receive a presentation on the Cottage Grove Regional Public Safety Training Center. It’s one of several projects in the area up for possible consideration in the 2014 Bonding Bill.
The center, which would utilize input from higher education, emergency medical professionals, and law enforcement, would be built on a “shovel-ready” 9½-acre parcel just north of Cottage Grove’s gleaming new Public Safety/City Hall building. It would include a firing range, fire training tower, classrooms and a mock street designed to help police officers and firefighters prepare for real-life scenarios. Though located in Cottage Grove, the training center would serve the needs of the greater south east metro area by offering training and education to students and professionals from various schools and communities.
The presentation will be made by officials with the city of Cottage Grove and administrators with Inver Hills Community College.
