Silver Bay Business Park

Silver Bay’s Business Park is located on U.S. Highway 61, approximately 56 miles northeast of Duluth on the shores of Lake Superior. The park is roughly 110 acres with irregular property lines. The site is mostly wooded with natural drainage from northwest to southeast with slopes varying from 5% to 15%.

Access to the park is by Highway 61 and its one of the few parcels that is properly zoned for development and served by municipal water and sewer services. In 1995, the City completed major renovations to its waste-water treatment facility in order that it can handle any type of proposed business. Minnesota Pollution Control Agency has given high marks for our operation of the waste-water treatment facility on an annual basis.

Persons or businesses wishing to locate or relocate to one of Minnesota’s most scenic areas on the North Shore of Lake Superior should contact the City Administrator’s Office in Silver Bay by phone 218-226-4408, fax 218-226-4068 or email.

The City will subdivide to suit tenants. Prices are negotiable. Businesses who desire scenic surroundings and high quality of life and workforce should seriously consider the opportunities afforded in our Business Park.
