A WORD FROM OUR MAYOR
T he City of Lakeville is a thriving community that embraces growth while remembering and honoring our history . With a population of over 60,000 and growing at a rate among the fastest in the Twin Cities , we look forward to continued expansion in the residential , commercial and industrial sectors of our economy .
Among Lakeville ’ s greatest assets are our residents who support our local economy , schools , parks and trails , and our business community . Our business environment includes everything from a historic downtown to numerous retail centers , to an industrial park with access to air , rail and freight services . We are proud that our city is home to
numerous corporate campus facilities , restaurants and a multitude of retail options .
We are blessed with significant educational and sports opportunities for children and adults . We love to celebrate our community with events like an arts festival and our annual community celebration called Panorama of Progress over the 4th of July week .
The City of Lakeville has housing options at all price points . New construction of single-family homes , townhomes , and apartments keep Lakeville as the number one issuer of building permits in the metropolitan Twin Cities area .
Lakeville is an ideal place to visit , shop , work and live . As a 34 year resident , I have witnessed exponential growth and know that our community is even greater now than when my family first moved here . I hope that whether you are coming here to spend your vacation , expand or build your business , or consider our community for your new home , that you will agree with me . www . lakevillechamber . org 3
