MPD 3rd Precinct: 'Democracy center’ business, organization wanted
MINNEAPOLIS (FOX 9) – Following months of discussion over what to do with the site of the former Minneapolis Police Department Third Precinct, city officials are now looking for “businesses, organizations, or teams” interested in running a new “democracy center” at 3000 Minnehaha Avenue South.
Third Precinct site
Background: The former police precinct was destroyed in the riots sparked by the death of George Floyd in May 2020. The burned building has sat empty at the corner of Lake Street and Minnehaha Avenue for the past four years.
Since then, the city has debated what to do with the location.
Democracy center
What officials are saying: In an announcement on Monday, city officials say they are seeking a suitor that will, “take a community-focused approach to developing, programming, managing, and using about 8,000 square feet… for the purposes of the democracy center.”
The city says it looks to move forward with a mixed-use democracy center that would house elections and voter services. It would also include a ground-floor space for “community use.”
Community engagement
By the numbers: The city has previously conducted open houses, curated conversations and shared online surveys – the results of which it says showed 63% in support and 17% opposed of the idea.
What’s next?
Look ahead: The city is hoping to finalize design plans in the coming weeks and start renovations in 2025 with hopes of the democracy center opening sometime in 2026.
