The City Planner presented preliminary information regarding growth patterns anticipated
by the Met Council for the City of Hastings. There was significant discussion about the desire and
the ability to grow outside current boundaries and discussion that, if growth should occur, where
should that be.
Council was in agreement to plan for future commercial growth along the Highway 55
corridor on the western edge of the City.
City Planner Weiland indicated that there currently is and there will continue to be a lot of
pressure from developers to locate in Hastings. The City will receive requests to annex certain land

potential new developments.
