Woodbury Mayor Anne Burt outlined the city's major accomplishments and priorities for 2025-2028 during her annual State of the City address, highlighting water infrastructure, public safety enhancements, and community development as key focus areas.

The city's largest public infrastructure project in its history, a permanent water treatment plant to address PFAS contamination, broke ground in November and is expected to be operational by 2028. State-managed 3M settlement funds will cover the majority of construction costs for the facility, located east of Radio Drive and south of Hargis Parkway. Meanwhile, temporary treatment facilities continue operating at nine well sites to ensure water quality.

Public safety improvements include expanding the Community Support Team, which addresses mental health crises, substance use disorders, and domestic abuse cases. The city added an additional detective sergeant and mental health practitioner to the team in 2024. Voters approved funding for a Public Safety campus expansion in November 2024 through a half-cent local sales tax beginning in April 2025, with construction planned to begin in 2026.

Central Park's $7.5 million renovation, funded partially through State of Minnesota bonding, is expected to reopen this fall after construction began in April 2024. The city also completed various parks improvements and expanded the community garden at Andy Bark Park from 48 to 96 plots, adding wheelchair accessible raised beds.

The city issued building permits for seven new commercial buildings totaling more than 260,000 square feet in 2024, including welcoming TopGolf along Bielenberg Drive and a new Washington County Service Center. City Administrator Clint Gridley will retire in June after more than 20 years of service, with Baker Tilly recruiting firm conducting a national search for his replacement.
