A Message From The Mayor

The City of Norwood Young would like to welcome you to a community that prides itself on having the inherent characteristics of a small town, but also the progressive qualities of a large city.

Why should you locate your business in Norwood Young America? Our community offers prospective businesses opportunities and attributes not comprehensively available in rural, urban or suburban Minnesota cities.

Our community is ideally situated at the nexus of two major Minnesota highways, U.S. Highway 212 and MN Trunk Highway 5. We are a short 25-minute drive to I-494 and the Southwest Metro, and 45 minutes from Downtown Minneapolis. The Minneapolis- St. Paul International Airport is located just 40 miles to the east and offers non-stop service to hundreds of destinations.

We offer affordable, shovel ready land in our industrial parks. Our newest industrial park, the Tacoma West Industrial Park, is located adjacent to the Twin Cities & Western and Minnesota Prairie Line Railroads. TC&W interchanges with all Class I railroads in the Minneapolis/St. Paul terminal area, including BNSF Railway, Canadian National Railway, Canadian Pacific Railway, and Union Pacific Railroad.

Our workforce is highly skilled and eager to go to work for your business. We are also an easy drive for those workers looking for a reverse commute from the metro area.

We are excited about the possibility of bringing your business to our community. The City offers a fast track development process, meaning we can get your project through the city approval process quickly.

Come be a part of our great community. Share in our small town traditions and charm, and help us achieve our vision and goals for the future.

Sincerely,

Tina Diedrick, Mayor
