Farmington a Growing Community
Located in western Dakota County roughly 30 minutes south of the
Minneapolis St. Paul International Airport, Farmington is a growing
community that continues to offer small town charm while standing on the
precipice of becoming a unique suburban city.
Farmington has a vibrant business community which incorporates the contrast
of new commercial development with a well established traditional downtown.
In addition, the City’s Industrial and Business Parks offer opportunities for a wide array of uses and companies of all sizes. Farmington’s established development and design standards support the City’s desire for quality development.
With the presence of the Vermillion River, the existence of working farms and
the City’s extensive park and trail systems, the Community has an abundance
of natural resources. These amenities in part account for the extensive
residential growth of over 3,000 households added to the community within the
last decade.
The City’s population is rapidly approaching 21, 000 and boasts an above
average median household income. City leaders have identified economic
development and sustainable growth as top priorities.
