Maplewood residents in need of county services should take note: starting October 7, the Ramsey County Maplewood Service Center will be operating from a temporary new location inside Maplewood Mall. According to Ramsey County's announcement, the current service center is set to undergo renovations and will close its doors on October 4, just ahead of the relocation.
The temporary service center, which will be housed in the space of the former Maurice’s store, aims to continue providing important resources such as navigator services, financial aid, and child support, amidst a myriad of other programs that many locals rely on and without these essential programs, many in the community would be at a loss, as services including career labs, Head Start, and veteran aid are critical for the well-being of many residents. The county has committed to ensuring zero interruption in access to these vital services during the upgrade of the facility.
Set to be completed in February 2025, the renovation focuses on modernizing the service center with the intent to enhance both efficiency and the visitor experience. Housing stability, child and teen health checkups, and other services will remain fully accessible at the temporary spot in Suite 1034 of the mall, ensuring that the community's needs are met consistently.
For those seeking further details about the temporary relocation or the renovation process itself, the county urges patience and cooperation as they can find more information on the Service Center's main page. While the physical space of the service center is changing for the time being, the commitment to providing essential services to the community remains steadfast, showcasing the county's dedication to its residents and their varied needs during periods of transition.
