$230 million plan includes new Minnehaha County admin building, Coliseum demolition
Current administration building would also be razed for more courthouse space
The Minnehaha County Administration Building is on the docket to be replaced and then torn down, with work that could begin in the next couple of years.
A new administration building would be part of a campus-wide improvement plan unveiled Tuesday at an estimated cost approaching a quarter-billion dollars. Those building projects would take place over the next 30 years, and their costs would likely be paid at least in part from property taxes.
The commission received a final campus master plan, part of a process that started in November, 2024, said Tom Greco, the commission’s administrative officer. The plan represents a significant change to how the campus would look in downtown.
