ROCHESTER, Minn. — The Rochester City Council reversed Mayor Kim Norton veto of a multi-million dollar sports-rec complex planned in the city’s southeast quadrant. The vote was 5-2. The mayor had vetoed the project because, she said, the plans had warped into something very different from what big-buck promoters pitched when campaigning for voters to approve new taxes to build the park. The massive $65 million complex includes eight ball diamonds, 12 pickleball courts, two multi-use fields, and parks of several sorts.
