KIMT · last updated

ALBERT LEA, Minn. (KIMT) — Contractors will begin installing solar panels on City Hall Tuesday.

Crews will stage equipment and materials in the parking area in front of the old fire station doors on Fountain Street. A crane will arrive Thursday to lift equipment to the roof.

Crews will also park a scissor lift at the front of the building, which will block the left-hand entrance door for the duration of the project. The city expects the installation to take seven to 10 days.

The City of Albert Lea is advising the public to use caution when entering City Hall. The Public Library will remain accessible throughout the project.

The City of Albert Lea received a grant from the Minnesota Department of Commerce “Solar on Public Buildings Program” to install solar power arrays on four city-owned facilities.
