Greetings:
On behalf of the City
Council and all of the citizens of Detroit Lakes I would like to extend
a warm welcome to our City. We are located just 40 minutes east of
Fargo-Moorhead in beautiful Minnesota lake country. With the
combination of adjacent prairie, abundant woodlands and lakes it makes
an ideal place to live and work. In addition to the wonderful setting,
Detroit Lakes features a top rated school system, excellent medical
facilities, adequate housing and numerous parks and recreational
facilities.
Our economic base is
solid and stable with a good mix of manufacturing, tourism, agriculture
and retail. In addition, we are a regional hub for many service type
businesses. Detroit Lakes has achieved the status of "Minnesota Star
City" due to our many economic development programs.
Detroit Lakes is the
home to the Northwest Water Carnival, We Fest Country Music
Festival, Pine to Palm Golf Tournament and Polar Fest. In fact, our
community averages one special event per week throughout the year! With
the many attractions offered by Detroit Lakes, I encourage you to take
some time to explore our website and it's links. One thing you don't
want to miss is our famous mile long City beach!
If there is anything I
can do to help you become better acquainted with Detroit Lakes, please
give me a call or an email.
Sincerely,
Matt Brenk, Mayor
