Economic Development

Though the population of Park Rapids numbers less than 4,000, our community has become a regional governmental, manufacturing, commercial and medical center which serves approximately 30,000 people. An important, and intentional contradiction, is the success of business against a backdrop of natural charm and scenic beauty.

Our growing local economy with a spectacular array of recreational opportunities makes the Park Rapids Lakes Area the perfect place to telecommute, expand a business or start a whole new venture.

The Chamber works closely with the Hubbard County Regional Development Commission to assist new and expanding businesses throughout the community.
