In August, the ribbon was cut on a new playground and a new mural at Brooklyn Center Elementary School. Students had input on the designs of both and the land for the playground is shared by the school district and the city.
“It (is) a really vibrant space,” said Mayor Graves. “It brought together students with community members to have a safe, engaging environment.”
She also spoke about the upcoming referendum on the November general election ballot that could see voters approve funding to improve the Brooklyn Center Community Center. Graves said the facility is 50 years old, and there are upgrades the city wants to make and expansions they hope to be able to plan for.
“As our community has changed, so have the needs of our community,” she said. “We really want to support the quality of life for the residents living in Brooklyn Center.”
