Melrose Council Members include Tony Klasen (from left), Justin Frieler, Mayor Joe Finken, Bunker Hill and Travis Frieler.

A word from the Mayor The City of Melrose welcomes you to our strong, diverse and connected community. If you are looking for a place to call home, work or play, you have found it here in Melrose. We are very proud of our community and resources we have here. No matter what you are looking for, you can find it here. As our billboard says, “We are Growing.”

Melrose has seen nearly $200 million worth of building permits over the past eight years. This is due to the construction/ expansion of the CentraCare Hospital, CentraCare Melrose, Park View Center and Jennie-O Turkey Store, the construction of Arce Auto and Car Sales, Warrior Boats, and the expansions of Melrose Metalworks, Melrose Electric, Carstens Industries, Proliant – Land O’Lakes and Melrose One Stop to name a few. We have also seen remodeling of businesses on our Main Street as well as a brand new Casey’s Gas Station on the south side of town and True North Cafe and Marketplace.

We are positioned well for the future. We have a top-notch school district offering strong academic programs and multiple state championship honors. We are very pleased with our municipal recreational facilities. Melrose has two large parks, ice rink and warming house, multiple ball diamonds, public pavilion, connected walking and snowmobile trails, camping along the Sauk River, and fishing pier.

We could go on and on about this great community, but the best way to learn about us is to come and stay a while. We are a strong, diverse and connected community and hope to see you soon.

Commerce & Industry

Melrose is a community with high-quality infrastructure, a productive agriculture base and an ever-expanding business community. Its location adjacent to Interstate-94 in Central Minnesota's lake country provides quick and easy access to business markets, abundant recreational opportunities and a sensibly-paced lifestyle, all within a modest commute of major metropolitan markets. Two of the area's largest manufacturing industries are located in Melrose and continue to grow.

Jennie -O Turkey Store, Inc., one of the world's largest turkey processing companies, has built a brand-new state of the art facility here in Melrose. Jennie-O Turkey Store, Inc. employees over 700 people and processes 1.1 to 1.5 million live pounds of turkey per day. Most of these turkeys are grown within a 50- to 60-mile radius of the processing facility. Jennie-O Turkey Store, Inc. products are distributed to customers in all 50 states and approximately 40 foreign countries.

Land O'Lakes, Inc., is a milk-processing facility with approximately 130 employees.

The company processes nearly 1.3 billion pounds of milk into over 130 million pounds of cheddar and Italian-style cheeses annually. The company also supplies dairy permeate to Proliant Dairy Ingredients, Inc., a whey drying facility located adjacent to Land O'Lakes, Inc., Melrose.

CentraCare – Melrose is a critical access hospital with an attached clinic, skilled nursing home and a senior independent apartment building with assisted living services.

A full range of health care services and convenient access to a variety of specialists are provided on this growing medical campus in Melrose. CentraCare – Melrose employs more than 350 people who serve nearly 10,000 residents in and around western Stearns County. In 2017, a new 53,000-square-foot hospital opened which included two stateof-the-art operating rooms, new emergency department, 12 private patient rooms, two dedicated labor, delivery and recovery suites, 14 universal rooms, imaging women’s center and a Bistro.

There were several major infrastructure projects in 2020 including the expansion of high-speed internet to the I-94 Industrial Park which will allow the City to recruit businesses into the community. The City also completed several miles of new trails for bikes and walkers alike, and constructed a new bike shelter that houses several bikes that are available for the public for check out through a Yellow bike program. Future plans include the expansion of the wastewater treatment facility, a River-Dam-Bridge project (RDB) that includes the realignment of the Sauk River channel, a new bridge on CSAH 13 and repairs to the dam wall.

According to the most recent statistics from the State Demographer, in 2019 Melrose had an estimated population of 3,683 with 1,336 housing units. Singlefamily residential construction rates are starting to increase, while industrial and commercial development has continued at a pace rivaling or exceeding most central and outstate Minnesota communities. Melrose businesses - industrial, commercial and retail, along with its service providers - are continuing their long and much-appreciated tradition of investing in the Melrose community by expanding their businesses or starting new ones. The resulting creation of additional job opportunities is essential to every prospering city.

2020 private development projects included a brand-new Casey’s general store and truck stop on the south side of the interstate. The opening of a new car wash at Melrose One Stop, the construction and opening of St. Mary’s Church, the rebranding and grand reopening of True North CafÊ and Marketplace (formerly Cornerstone Buffet), a new commercial daycare/Montessori school, along with several other commercial and residential projects. Looking ahead, the City continues to work towards finding solutions for housing, and working with the local chamber and businesses to promote local, retain local and recruit new businesses.

Melrose Public Utilities supplies electrical power for the city, while Stearns Electric Association supplies it for the surrounding communities. Arvig provides telephone, television, high-speed Internet services, voice and data networking and computer services to the area. There are nine restaurants/fast food outlets, two banking facilities, three supermarkets/grocers and many other stores and services. The city has five parks, a golf course, a branch of the Great River Regional Library system and a weekly newspaper, The Star Post.

Melrose's most important asset is its people. Through their dedication, work ethic and values, they drive the community's development and prosperity.
