The City of Inver Grove Heights is looking to attract new businesses to the area and Progress Plus is here to lend a helping hand.
There’s a place that’s not too far from Minnesota’s metro core. It’s at the heart of where the pulse of business beats strong.
It’s a place where good business and healthy living come together to make more than good sense for anyone looking to start or relocate a business.
This place called River Heights is where opportunity and the spirit of business soar to new heights; bringing prosperity and a higher quality of life to those who come this way.
Why Inver Grove Heights?
Move to a Receptive Climate for Business
Inver Grove Heights is a beautiful community rising gently from the banks of the Mississippi. It has good soil, rolling hills and dense groves of hardwood trees. It holds the promise of being a good place to grow.
Our community is one that suits itself well to fostering a high quality of life. That’s why college, secondary and primary schools, parks, playgrounds and open spaces are a big part of our developing community.
And, like our environment, we value and do all that we can to
care for our community businesses. We have business assistance programs that can help with site selection, financial assistance and local contractors. People and companies reach new heights of success in a receptive climate that’s open for business.
