The largest industries in Hastings are retail trade, accommodation and food services, construction, healthcare, and professional services.

All of Hasting’s businesses benefit from the ability to recruit top-tier talent graduating from the region’s universities or currently working for one of the many global companies located in the Twin Cities. In addition, Hastings offers a historic downtown with many opportunities for shopping and dining, as well as the ability to live close to work, send children to a top school district, and enjoy immediate access to bike trails and over 400 acres of green space - all things that make it easier for local companies to hire the best workforce. 

Our location is also a strategic advantage for the industries located here. Healthcare companies can serve regional clients due to Hastings positioning within the southeast metro. Simultaneously, professional services and technology companies can use the MSP airport to reach customers throughout the country and the world.
