Feds plan to terminate leases at Mississippi River recreation headquarters and visitor center in Minnesota
The canceled lease is for a ranger station and was expected because the new center will accommodate park rangers, said Christina Hausman Rhode, executive director of Voyageurs Conservancy, a philanthropic partner of the park. The center’s grand opening is June 6.
According to the natural resources committee list, the GSA will also cancel the lease Sept. 30 for a Fish & Wildlife Service office in downtown Winona. And the U.S. Geological Survey’s Minnesota Water Science Center in Mounds View will lose its leased space in September 2026. Calls to both offices for comment were unanswered.
The list of federal park office and site closures is separate from another list of federal office buildings eyed for sale released last week.
