The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources’ St. Cloud area office in Sauk Rapids moved to a new location in mid-January.
The address for the new office is 1035 S. Benton Drive. It’s down the road about one block from where the DNR’s former office was located at 940 Industrial Drive S.
The site includes offices for staff from DNR divisions of Fish and Wildlife, Parks and Trails, Ecological and Water Resources, and Enforcement. Fisheries staff relocated from an office in Montrose. Montrose fisheries staff have new phone numbers; all other staff kept their old numbers.
The new site consolidates staff, equipment and supplies in a secure, energy-efficient building which provides more space and is more accessible to the public.
