WAITE PARK, Minn. — Those looking to do business with Waite Park city officials will soon no longer need to go to the public works building by the Ledge Amphitheatre. The newly renovated government center, which will include offices for Waite Park’s police and fire departments, city administration and city council will open its doors Nov. 20. More: 2 St. Cloud-area grocery stores named among the best Waite Park City Administrator Shaunna Johnson said city offices will be closed on Nov. 18 and 19 and will take business again from its new building the following day. The 80,000-square-foot building will feature a large multi-use space that will have dividers set up so it can be used as training rooms for the police department, hold city council meetings and other events the city might need. Waite Park's police department expects to see a 15-person staffing increase from 2023 to 2043, with patrol units alone jumping from 18 officers to 28.
