Leading Employers
Carlton County has a strong base of wood products industries and a growing number of manufacturers that depend upon highway and rail transportation, reliable and affordable electricity, available sites and skilled labor for success. Health care, higher education, retail and service sectors also are thriving within the county.
A progressive economic development community works with new and existing businesses to identify resources and opportunities to improve efficiency and profitability. University research facilities and extension services in the nearby Twin Ports can help innovative, growth-oriented companies develop new products and bring them to market.
