Lakeville Welcomes You!
A WORD FROM
OUR MAYOR
WE’RE GLAD
YOU’RE HERE!
O
Doug Anderson
Mayor, City of Lakeville
T
he City of Lakeville is a thriving community that embraces
growth while remembering and honoring our history. With
a population now estimated to be over 65,000 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.
Our residents are among Lakeville’s greatest assets as they 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,
manufacturers, restaurants and a multitude of retail options.
We are blessed with significant educational and sports
opportunities for children and adults. We are served by public
and private schools, and a strong and diverse faith community.
We love to celebrate our community with events like an annual
arts festival and our community celebration named Panorama of
Progress held over the 4th of July week.
In 2019 the City of Lakeville adopted our 2040 Comprehensive
Plan, which will help guide our community decisions over
the coming decades. As a 36 year resident, I have witnessed
considerable changes in our city, and I 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.
n behalf of the Lakeville Area Chamber
of Commerce and Visit Lakeville Tourism,
