Fairmont, MN’s Shovel-Ready site received recognition through the Thriving in the North program with the Minnesota Department of Employment and Economic Development (DEED). With easy access to I-90, I-35 and I-29, this light industrial-zoned parcel has over 17 developable acres available.
Located just 120 miles from Minneapolis-St. Paul, this community of 11,000 residents continues to offer skilled labor, land and building, and business expansion opportunities.
The area is fueled by value-added agriculture and industrial industries that have established Fairmont as a leader in the state.
