Land O’Lakes Plans $80 Million Expansion In Arden Hills

ARDEN HILLS (AP) - Land O'Lakes is planning an $80 million expansion at its corporate headquarters in a northern Twin Cities suburb.

The expansion will allow the company to house employees who are now split between the Arden Hills headquarters and the Shoreview offices, while also making room for at least 200 new jobs that will be added over the next few years.

The recent announcement followed the Ramsey County Board's decision in April to give the company a 15-year tax abatement of up to $1.5 million on the expansion.

Land O'Lakes wants to build a four-story office building and a 1,700-stall parking lot on its 50-acre site in Arden Hills.

The project plans are still subject to city approval.
