Development, redevelopment

In 2017, Elk River began to see the impacts of an improving economy with our largest number of housing starts since 2009 and the addition of new restaurants. In 2018, we expect continued single-family residential development near Twin Lakes Elementary and renewed interest elsewhere in the community. The city has been assembling parcels for redevelopment, including new commercial and retail projects along Highway 10, one of which will lead to a dedicated southbound right turn lane from Proctor to Highway 10. The planning division will begin an initiative to simplify the city code to make development easier for small business and improve clarity for residents.
