Minnesota State Capitol Fence Coming Down Next Month

The fence surrounding the Minnesota State Capitol is scheduled to come down June 1st.

The State Department of Administration says it will take several days to be taken down, but should be gone by the time lawmakers return for a special session.

The fence has cost around 200-thousand dollars since the first barriers went up in late May of 2020 during the riots that followed the death of George Floyd.

It remains unclear when the Capitol building itself will be opened to the public.
