We are a group of citizens from West St. Paul and Dakota County who are concerned about the proposed location of a 24/7 Mental Health Crisis and Recovery Center which is slated to be built in the northeast corner of the parking lot of the Dakota County Northern Service Center on Mendota Road in West St. Paul. by the end of 2024. The facility will be run by social service agency Guild.

We fully support increased mental health services in Dakota County.

We are committed to keeping our neighborhood a safe place.

We do not feel that the location of the 24/7 Mental Health Crisis and Recovery Center balances the safety concerns of the community with the interests of Guild clients.

We feel this center would dramatically reduce security and safety in our community.

We are committed to working with the City of West St. Paul and Dakota County on an alternative location because the need for this kind of facility is real.
