Northfield Business and Industrial Park

The City of Northfield is in the process of preparing a master plan and development strategy for a business and industrial park located in a newly annexed area in the northwestern quadrant of the City. The recent annexation of approximately 530 acres provides the City of Northfield with the opportunity to expand the land resource supply and create a vision for business and industrial expansion that will provide opportunities for new investment, tax base expansion, job creation and wage enhancement.

The desire to undertake the master planning process is a clearly stated objective of the Economic Development Authority and the Northfield City Council, supporting recommendations stated in the 2006 Comprehensive Economic Development Plan. The City is committed to developing a plan that will be embraced by the larger community. Therefore, the process will provide many opportunities for public participation and input. The expected outcome of the planning process will yield a Master Plan and Development Standards that will provide the City with a guide for future development of the newly annexed area. The Northfield 3rd Business and Industrial Park Master Plan will strive to achieve the following goals and objectives:

• Diversify the economic base of Northfield
• Reflect Northfield's distinctive quality of place
• Complement rather than compete with downtown businesses
• Establish a positive gateway into the community
• Promote a high quality development
• Promote energy efficiency and sustainable development practices
• Promote multiple modes of transportation
• Reflect feasibility in the marketplace
• Attract potential end users and retain a talented and educated workforce
