Lino Lakes has two private airport facilities, the Hansen Sea Plane Base and the Lino Lakes Airpark. Agriculture and forestry: Approximately 6,268 acres within the City of Lino Lakes receive the agricultural property tax classification by the Anoka County Assessors Office. While the City of Lino Lakes has an abundance of trees, there are no publicly managed forestlands. Commercial and industrial development and trends: The City of Lino Lakes continues to see high growth in its industrial and commercial sectors due primarily to the City’s efforts in establishing and promoting new industrial and commercial areas at both of the City’s freeway interchanges. This will allow the City to define the community’s image. The availability of vacant land, municipal utilities, and freeway access each are strong amenities that will allow Lino Lakes to compete for future economic development. New development has occurred with the extension of sanitary sewer and municipal water. Between 1991 and 2004, the City has added 995,000 square feet of industrial space and between 1996 and 2004, 425,000 square feet in commercial/retail space. The Lino Lakes Town Center, once completed will add nearly 250,000 square feet in new commercial/retail space. Residential development and trends: The City has a sustained residential growth that will continue over the next 20 years. Infrastructure and infrastructure projects: There are many planned infrastructure projects. The freeways physically divide the City, preventing connections between different portions of the City. The City has identified a need to provide convenient pedestrian and automobile connections throughout the community in order to establish a unified community identity. A future interchange location has been identified at 80th Street and I-35E. A new bridge will be constructed at 35W and 80th Street. The City will be constructing new City wells within the next 10 years. For utilities, the City will be extending sewer and water trunk lines to facilitate residential development.
