The Salvation Army is proposing a new 107,000 square foot residential rehab center in Coon Rapids that would replace its deterioating facility in Minneapolis' trendy North Loop neighborhood.
The religious organization has provided rehabilitation services to residents at its current location, 900 N. 4th St., since 1964.
But as Maj. Graham Allan and Maj. Gerald O'Neil of The Salvation Army explain in a letter to the City of Coon Rapids:
The organization's existing facility site has watched its neighborhood transform over the years with a boom in North Loop real estate, particularly residential. But Salvation Army's move remains uncertain until all the appropriate approvals -- including rezoning -- are given by the City of Coon Rapids.
