Millions of dollars needed to repair MSP prison after tornado damage

Would you spend millions to repair the tornado damage to the old MSP prison?

Cole County Presiding Commissioner Sam Bushman says repairs won’t come cheap.

“I’ve heard $9 million, but to me that is a piece of our history.”

The prison took a direct hit from the May tornado. It blasted out windows, tore off roofs and even knocked down parts of the old limestone wall.
