Welcome to the Delano Area Chamber's website

"Equipping members to thrive in our business community."

The City of Delano and Franklin Township are located in the southeastern corner of Wright County, Minnesota, just 27 miles from downtown Minneapolis, west on Interstate 394 and US Hwy 12. The scenic South Fork of the Crow River runs through the community. Delano prides itself in a “Spirit of Community” growing at a steady but limited pace to retain the “small town” atmosphere. Delano also boasts one of the lowest tax rates in the State of Minnesota and the highest test scores in our schools. Delano is also known for its spectacular 4^th of July Celebration.

The business community is thriving and growing. New commercial and industrial entities continue to move to Delano and bring with them new employment opportunities and a greater selection of goods and services for area residents. The Delano Area Chamber of Commerce supports the business community by offering an ever-expanding list of opportunities and benefits to its members.

The Delano Chamber promotes our community on behalf of our member businesses. Browse our website for a directory of our member businesses, "Hot Deals" that are offered, an events calendar, membership information, facts about our schools, a list of clubs and organizations, and relocation information. The Chamber office is located at 265 River St North. In the entryway is a brochure rack with phone books, maps, information about the community and about our member businesses.
