What happened

Owatonna has specified North Street as a potential location for a new police station. Reports indicate that the city's current police and fire facilities are aging and face significant operational and health challenges. The fire station was constructed in 1906, and the police department operates out of a building originally designed as a bank nearly 60 years ago.
