Golden Valley Mayor Roslyn Harmon Talks About City Re-Branding

Golden Valley Mayor Roslyn Harmon said she is proud to be a founding member of the Safe and Stable Communities Coalition of suburban mayors who are responding after Operation Metro Surge rocked the Twin Cities region in January and February.

Golden Valley Mayor Roslyn Harmon joined other northwest suburban mayors at a press conference for the Safe and Stable Communities Coalition at the Minnesota State Capitol in February.

“(We’ve been) speaking with our legislators, even with the governor and his team, to really push municipal mutual aid and really making sure that with all that’s taking place, that our cities are taken care of and that our residents are safe,” Mayor Harmon told CCX Media’s Dave Kiser.

She also talked about the results of a community survey that were completed at the end of last year.

“The results came out very, very well,” said Harmon. “We’re excited to hear that residents are also excited for the development that we are projecting with our civic campus and our east fire station and all of those great developments.”

The city’s Building Forward campaign–expansion and renovation of the city’s core civic center campus and expansion to other properties for public works and a new east fire station funded by a sales tax increase in 2024–is advancing.

“It’s a big scope, but we’re doing a lot of it at once, right? But these are projects long waiting, right?” said Harmon. “It’s time.”

The city will host its State of the City in conjunction with the kick-off a long rebranding effort on Wednesday, April 15 at 6:30 p.m. at Brookview.

“We’re a special, unique city, and we want to be seen. Visible,” said Harmon. “That doesn’t really mean changing a lot, but we just want to have that visibility and that identity.”
