A strong business environment is essential to the economic growth
of any city. The Pine City area has had a strong period of growth over the last few years.

Community leaders constantly seek to help the right businesses find a home in the Pine City area.
Technology Park Attracts New Business
Recently the old airport was opened up for industrial development. Located on the north side of town, the large open area has good access to Interstate I-35 and State Hwy. 61.

Downtown Pine City is a strong and vital economic spot for the city. Community events such as the "Art in the Park" summer concert series, local "Market in the Park" from July-October, the Pine County Parade and December's Holiday Madness Celebration with our Christmas Carol Parade full of decorated units in holiday lights, attract consumers year-round to local downtown businesses. Robinson Park is the central gathering place for many community events and Main Street continues to boast increased business development.
As the area continues to expand, the community remains committed to finding the right mix of small town values and economic strength to make the area a great place to live, work and grow.

The Pine City area is served by the Rush City Regional airport.
