BREEZY POINT — The doors are open for business at the newly finished Breezy Point City Hall.

The city hosted a ribbon-cutting ceremony for its remodeled and expanded city hall Monday, Nov. 3, before the Breezy Point City Council’s regular meeting.

Several dozen residents attended the event, and city staff were on hand to answer questions about the new spaces.

“On behalf of the council and the staff of the city of Breezy Point, we appreciate you all coming out and getting a chance to see the new city hall. We’re all very proud of it,” Breezy Point Mayor Todd Roggenkamp said during the cutting. “We’ve put it together. It’s here now.”

While the shelves in the city hall’s free lending library are currently empty, books are expected to return in the coming days.

Designs from Widseth engineering firm in Baxter included a remodel of the former 4,100 square-foot city hall building and a 4,950-square-foot addition.

The council had accepted a not-to-exceed bid of $2.95 million from Hy-Tec Construction of Brainerd for the project in July 2024, and construction started with a groundbreaking in September 2024.

The bid was made using the ezIQC process through Sourcewell and administered by Gordian, and was reached after cutbacks were made to project expenses, including building furnishings and use of existing audio and video systems.
