FAQs

Are there available buildings and land for development?: Yes. Carlton County is a funding partner in the regional economic development portal "Northland Connection" which maintains a database of real estate and other demographic information. This database is also copied into the State of Minnesota's real estate listing so we have a statewide presence. We rely on our community partners and real estate professionals to keep us up to date on the properties they have available. And of course it is very important that they let us know when something is sold or otherwise removed from the market.
