Economic Development Summary

In fall 2025, CentraCare will open a St. Cloud-based medical school located in CentraCare Plaza, less than a mile away from the Sartell Business Campus. The City of Sartell envisions the Sartell Business Campus as part of the Central Minnesota Healthcare Hub

CentraCare’s 10-year vision of Making Rural Life Healthier includes investing $500 million to expand and upgrade facilities in the region including the CentraCare Plaza.

The Sartell Business Campus is the most visible property from HWY 15 in the Central Minnesota Healthcare hub, which is the center of Sartell’s economic development activity. 

The City of Sartell is seeking $70 million in bonding money in the 2024 Minnesota legislative session to help pay for necessary infrastructure in this area. 

Minnesota Capital Investment Committee Chair Sandy Pappas said in November 2023, “I was amazed at all the medical facilities here. When they talked about it being a medical hub, I thought two or three buildings. But we drove around for 20 minutes, and on every street corner, there was another medical building.”
