The project, which has been in the works since late 2003, will be built on a 37-acre site west of Pilot Knob Road and south of Cliff Road.
The land has a history of pollution including stockpiled horse manure and demolition debris from the former Metropolitan Stadium in Bloomington, MN.

Opponents will likely appeal the council's decision before the Minnesota Board of Water and Soil Resources.
