LETTER FROM
THE MAYOR
DEAR COMMUNITY PARTNERS
Welcome to Vadnais Heights“ Where the City meets the outdoors!” Our City is a great place to live, work and raise a family, but its convenient location, business-friendly City Council and proactive economic development partnerships also make Vadnais Heights a premier place for commercial growth.
The parks, lakes and trails of Vadnais Heights are truly unique in the east metropolitan area. We have the perfect combination of quality residential neighborhoods with nearby freeway corridor development. Easy access to and from the core cities – while still maintaining one of the safest communities in Minnesota – makes Vadnais Heights a preferred location to live and do business.
Our citizens often comment that the reason they stay in Vadnais Heights is because of the high quality City services. A recent survey indicated that 97 percent of our community is pleased with direction of the City. Even with some of the lowest property taxes in the metropolitan area, we have been able to invest in our City Center district and other important commercial developments. Our recent addition of ornamental street lighting throughout our City Center is a great example of our desire to enhance local business in our community.
Our City staff are some of the finest in the country and are dedicated to excellent community service. Don’ t hesitate to contact us if you need some type of assistance or have an idea for the future of Vadnais Heights. We are always looking for creative ways to develop our community. Looking over the horizon and being on the cutting edge of new ideas is a trait we welcome and appreciate in Vadnais Heights!
Sincerely, Bob Fletcher, Mayor
