NEW BRIGHTON, MN-Medical device maker Medtronic Inc. is talking to government officials with the City of New Brighton (just north of Minneapois) and the state about a three-phase expansion that eventually could add more than 2,000 jobs and up to 1.5 million sf of new space. The focus of talks is the east side of a 100-acre local site called the Northwest Quadrant, located on either side of Old Highway 8 just north of Interstates 694 and 35W.

Medtronic and the city are talking about a major expansion that has the prospect of adding a couple thousand jobs, says state Sen. Satveer Chaudhary, (DFL-New Brighton). The company employs 6,500 workers in the Twin Cities and moved into a 500,000-sf world headquarters complex along I-694 in nearby Fridley three years ago.

Medtronic spokesman Bob Hanvik confirmed the company is looking at further expansion, but declined to discuss specifics. One concern, however, is that the company may consider bids from other states.
