LIVING IN MARTIN COUNTY COMMUNITY INTRODUCTION Known as the ‘City of Lakes’, Fairmont is the commercial and tourism hub of Martin County in southern Minnesota. With more than 680 businesses operating within the city, an educated population, access to transportation links, and state-of-the-art healthcare, Fairmont has steadily built a reputation as one of the leading rural communities in the state. Residents here enjoy a high quality of life and a low cost of living – it was ranked 10th in towns that take the least of your money, and our property tax rates are among the lowest of Minnesota cities with similar demographic and geographic characteristics. Located on I-90, and within easy driving distance of major population areas like Minneapolis/St. Paul and Des Moines, Fairmont is the ideal destination for families looking for affordable housing and employment opportunities, as well as for active retirees who want to enjoy the many recreational activities on offer. We are proud of our agricultural and industrial heritage, and we are well placed to grow and develop in the future, thanks to land availability, a skilled workforce, and a business-friendly outlook.
