Welcome To The City Of Delano
Delano is a city of growth and promise; with its industry, jobs, homes, and parks, truly the spirit of community. What makes Delano a great community in which to live and work?
The location of Delano is a great benefit to its residents. While conveniently located on the western fringe of the metro area, Delano strives to maintain its home town flavor.
Delano, with its strong economic base, takes pride in having one of the lowest tax rates in Wright County. With a strong fund balance, the city is able to improve its services to its residents while maintaining its low tax rate.
Delano takes an aggressive approach in developing new and current city businesses. Through its Economic Development Authority, and in conjunction with the Delano Chamber of Commerce and the Wright County Economic Development Partnership, there are numerous public and private resources available to assist new and existing businesses in the community. As a result, Delano is continually creating new jobs and a stronger tax base.
Delano’s greatest asset, though, is its people; a blend of young and old, working and living together. With the support of the numerous churches, civic organizations, and athletic groups, the citizens of Delano truly make our community a great place to live.
This year will be particularly challenging with the Highway 12 improvements and its detours.
It is vital to remember and support our local businesses and shop locally. All business access will remain open along the Highway 12 corridor during construction.
Support for our local businesses is vital because our businesses provide employment for many area residents, and charitably give great support to Delano’s schools, civic organizations, and community activities.
I encourage everyone to be patient and understanding during the construction season. We all know how time seems to go by so fast, so, too, will the Highway 12 project.
I see this as an exciting time for Delano, because, when the project is completed, we will have an improved corridor through our city with, first and foremost, a safer passageway, new trails and lights, and a better look for our city.
On behalf of the city of Delano, its citizens, businesses, and industries – welcome to town!
