Eagan,
Minnesota. Eagan was farm country in the 60's and only
had about 3,500 souls living there along the Minnesota
River, just south of the Twin Cities. The city has been
around since Civil War times, founded in 1860. Everything
changed with the completion of the big Interstate highways
across the Minnesota and Mississippi Rivers in the '80's,
namely Highways 77, 494 and 35E. When that happened,
developers started putting up homes at the rate of about
1,000 a year. Today Eagan is one of the fastest growing
Twin Cities' suburbs with a current population of around
57,000. Average home
prices are around $165,000 and average median household
income is about $47,000/yr.
Approximately 25% of Eagan
is zoned for commercial and industrial installations,
mostly in the northern part of the city. Several large
corporations have established a headquarters there,
including: West Publishing, Cray Research, Northwest
Airlines, and there is a huge Coca-Cola bottling plant
here, one of the world's largest for Coca-Cola.
Jet noise from the nearby
international airport is a concern, mainly in the northern
industrial part of Eagan..
Eagan is keeping pace with
the growth by establishing more schools, parks and a
recreational facility. The library is a nice piece of
architecture and the largest in the area. |
