Destination Medical Center Development Plan

Design for DMC showing a tree-lined street and pedestrian walk way. The Minnesota Legislature has dedicated $410.6 million to Destination Medical Center in Rochester, making it “the largest project ever carried through the Legislature,” according to a Minnesota Star Tribune article last year.

Destination Medical Center is a unique, 20-year, public-private partnership and an economic development initiative that began with an idea by Rochester business leaders in 2008 to make the Mayo Clinic a worldwide medical destination, improve the city’s infrastructure, and enhance the businesses, services, and organizations that support the Mayo Clinic. The idea was formed in 2008, funded in 2013, and the Development Plan adopted in 2015.

The 2013 law establishing the project required significant local investment before any state money was released. The state’s $410.6 million was met with local government commitments of $128 million by Rochester and $46.4 million by Olmstead County for a total of $585 million over twenty years. Sales tax exemptions and property tax incentives were included. In addition, Mayo was expected to invest $3.5 billion in facilities across Rochester and secure $2.1 billion in outside investment, according to House Public Information’s 2013 publication, New Laws.

Halfway through this 20-year project, how successful has it been so far? Annual reports are required each year, and development plans are published every five years. The most recent development plan, Destination Medical Center Development Plan 5-Year Update, was released recently. The report paints a rosy picture – citing job increases, progress in new private investment, and new tax revenue. But it also cites challenges such as higher rent and the need for more housing.

You can check out the Destination Medical Center Development Plan 5-Year Update, or the Destination Medical Center Corporation Board record in the Library's Minnesota Agencies database, if you’re interested in learning more.
