Details: Plans to demolish a former Knights of Columbus hall and replace it with a new city public works facility along W. Broadway in Crystal were finalized this month with the approval of a conditional use permit and site plans for the $12.8 million effort.
The city this spring acquired five parcels in the 4900 and 5000 blocks of W. Broadway, including the now-vacant, 26,000-square-foot hall, which was built in 1959 and was last used by the Word of Faith Ministries. The cost of that acquisition was $2 million.
Also acquired was the former Metro Law Office at 5025-5027 W. Broadway for $450,000. Demolition is expected by July 25.
