Airport Runway Extension Leads Minnesota CU Network To Move Downtown

An expanded airport runway has driven the Minnesota Credit Union Network to move its offices to downtown St. Paul in early 2005. The MCUN has leased the remaining commercial office space in the Saint Paul Public Housing Agency's new building at 555 North Wabasha Street and will move 30 people into that space. The Network said it is making the move largely due to a new north-south runway which will be open soon at the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport. The current Network office in Bloomington is directly in the path of the runway where estimates predict noise levels to exceed 75 decibels.
