Once you park in Burnsville, what to do?

Battle brewing over Burnsville arts center

Supporters of Heart of the City are considering how to counter what they call misinformation by opponents. Critics say they are against excessive public spending. At Burnsville City Hall, some officials have been privately seething over what they say is opponents' published misinformation about the cost of the new arts center and a much bigger undertaking, the Heart of the City redevelopment. The Burnsville Performing Arts Center, slated to be built by next fall for $20 million, is the final piece of a $150 million redevelopment of a once blighted area, now known as Heart of the City. Officials say it's already increased the city's tax base and will continue to do so.
