Eden Prairie City Council Extends Emergency Declaration

Press release from the City of Eden Prairie:

Earlier this evening, in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the City Council voted to extend the Emergency Declaration in Eden Prairie, which permits City leaders to request and coordinate appropriate aid, and resources from our mutual aid partners as needed.

To prioritize the health and well-being of our community and employees, and to help slow the spread of coronavirus, the Eden Prairie City Center (8080 Mitchell Road) is closed to the public until further notice.

Essential services — including public safety, emergency services, public works, and water and sewer utilities — will continue.

“Closing City Center will greatly reduce the health risk to the public and City staff; however, residents can expect to receive the same exceptional level of service that is always provided to our community,” said Mayor Ron Case. “We are simply deploying a modified delivery model and asking for all business to be conducted online or by telephone.”
