Your Safety, Our Priority

A Regional Commitment to Public Safety

The City of Hibbing serves as a regional public safety hub. As our residents, community, and region rely on these essential public services, it is important to continue investing in our fire and police departments.

After nearly three years of evaluating options to address the needs of our public safety departments and best support our community, the city developed the “Your Safety, Our Priority” plan to invest in a new public safety center that would bring all first responder departments under one roof. 

On November 5, 2024, the city will ask voters to consider a half-percent local sales tax that would finance up to $19.6 million in bonds to help pay for this project. Because this is an important community decision, this website was created to provide Hibbing residents with information and resources about the project so they can make an informed vote on or before November 5. 

You can reach out to the city with any questions or feedback using the form on the Connect page.
