The Crisis and Recovery Center project will help people get mental health care in their community. It will offer a welcoming place for mental health assessment, support and short-term residential treatment.
The project is in the northeast portion of the parking lot at the
Northern Service Center in West St. Paul. The site is near public transit, government services, shopping, community support programs, green space and other amenities that have been identified as important to people who are accessing mental health services.
Project contruction update
Construction work started in fall 2023 and is progressing on schedule. Because of mild weather, contractors worked through the winter months without major delays. They started to raise the buildings steel frame in March 2024. Once structural framing is complete, the building will start to take to shape. Summer and fall 2024 will be very active with building interior, exterior and site work.
