WAITE PARK -- A St. Cloud dental clinic is relocating to Waite Park.

Granite City Family and Cosmetic Dental is currently constructing a new 5,000 square-foot office building at 429 Great Oak Drive, near Rejuv Medical.

Dr. Kari Peterson is the owner of Granite City Family and Cosmetic Dentistry. She says they continue to grow and more space was needed.

"Being able to have a new space will allow us to bring on more hygienists, assistants or possibly another doctor in the future," says Peterson.

The dental office has been in their current location, 4140 Thielman Lane in St. Cloud, for the last 10 years.

Peterson says she's heard great things about Waite Park and felt it would ease the transition for her patients.

"It's a family friendly area, easy to get to, and I felt it would be a nice location where patients can find us easily and have a nice transition over there," says Peterson.

Waite Park Planning and Community Development Director Jon Noerenberg says the dental office will be a nice addition to the area with other medical-type businesses nearby.

Construction is expected to be completed by November.
