Shovel-Ready Certified Sites
Overview

Save time and money and take the headache and uncertainty out of your site search with a Minnesota Shovel-Ready Certified Site.
We work closely with communities and property owners to certify that the most time-consuming legal, technical and regulatory aspects of developing specific commercial and industrial sites are already complete.
Sites certified under our Shovel-Ready program have had all of the planning, zoning, surveys, title work, environmental studies, soils analysis and public infrastructure engineering completed prior to the site being offered for sale.
