Welcome to Jackson, MN
  Development & Your Business


Jackson progressively seeks to assist
new and expanding business, whether looking to locate in the area or already located here.  The stability of Jackson is due to a productive and educated work force, a commitment to quality supporting institutions, and an overall belief that Jackson is a great place to work, live and play.

Among the organizations helping to make Jackson a better place is the Jackson Economic Development Corporation.  The JEDC was established in 1964 as a for-profit development corporation and is currently comprised of over 300 local shareholders and directed by a 12-member volunteer Board of Directors. Along with the Board members are three advisory members.

The JEDC has been instrumental in turning what was once a cornfield into a bustling hub of activity in the Jackson Industrial Parkway.

The Economic Development office is located in Jackson City Hall, 80 W. Ashley Street.  Their phone number is (507) 847-4423.  You may also contact the office via e-mail: edc@cityofjacksonmn.com
