Rosemount city officials hope to save money by constructing the proposed senior center in conjunction with a private, $10 million senior housing project.
Bloomington-based Doran Companies originally set out to build an 80- to 90-unit senior housing complex in Rosemount.

The county money will be used for a hazardous materials assessment and demolition; city hopes for more senior housing at the site.
The city of Rosemount has received a $120,000 grant from the Dakota County Community Development Agency (CDA) for redevelopment of the old St. Joseph’s School site into senior housing and a senior center.

Augustana Health Care Center would expand its Apple Valley campus onto another six acres of land, and add several facilities that target different living and care needs for senior citizens.
Apple Valley’s Planning Commission on Wednesday reviewed master sketches for a proposed expansion of the Augustana Health Care Center in Apple Valley, which would add several senior living and care facilities to a “continuum of care” campus over the next seven years.
