VIRGINIA, Minn. – The St. Louis County Government Services Center building in Virginia has re-opened following an evacuation Wednesday morning due to a possible gas leak.
In a recent press release officials said a transformer was damaged during the demolition of the Northland Office Building which caused a power outage in the downtown area as well as reports of a potential gas leak.
Employees and visitors were safely evacuated and no injuries were reported.
“We are thankful for the quick response by all involved – the Virginia Fire and Police Departments, as well as our staff,” said County Administrator Kevin Gray. “Everyone moved quickly to ensure safety for all.”
Officials say the gas leak has been contained.
