City Council members, Anoka County commissioners, Blaine city staff and members of the Blaine Festival Committee plan to participate in a ceremonial groundbreaking at 3:30 p.m. Thursday to kick of the project.
The 10,000-square-foot facility at 9191 NE. Lincoln St. is a partnership between the city and the Blaine Festival, the suburb's annual summer shindig featuring music, carnival rides and food the last weekend of June.
The nonprofit festival is contributing about $1 million toward the facility, which will have a stage, restrooms, meeting space and storage rooms. The city will cover the remaining $3 million.
Construction will begin the week of July 17, with plans to have it complete by next year's Blaine Festival.
The pilot was the only person inside the plane, and was not injured in the emergency landing, according to the State Patrol.
