WOODBURY, MN — The Bielenberg Sports Center may see a name change, and with it comes $1.8 million for the city of Woodbury.

If the Woodbury City Council approves the proposal, it will become the HealthEast Sports Center, the Pioneer Press reported:

The council will vote on the proposal at a meeting Wednesday, April 26.
“This would give us a way to support the community and provide us with a presence,” said HealthEast spokeswoman Dina Fassino.
HealthEast would not occupy space inside the building. But it would operate pop-up clinics and teaching sessions, on such topics as brain-concussion testing and health screenings.

HealthEast would pay the city of Woodbury an estimated $127,000 annually for a total of 14 years.
