The Richfield Housing and Redevelopment Authority is helping a controversial Plymouth-based affordable-housing developer convert a historic military post into an apartment complex.
Previously, Upper Post housed Buffalo Soldiers all-Black regiments for the U.S. Army and a Japanese intelligence and language school during World War II.
The preliminary investigation from the State Fire Marshal’s Office concluded a fire at a Fort Snelling construction site was caused by sparks from cutting holes in the metal roof soffit for vents.
A former officers' building that is being converted to veteran and low-income housing at the abandoned Upper Post at Fort Snelling was torched by a fire on Thursday.
