Re: Destination Medical Center – February 15, 2026 Report
Dear Senators, Representatives, Commissioners, and Chairs:
On behalf of the Destination Medical Center Corporation (DMCC) and the City of
Rochester, we are honored to submit the 2026 Annual Report to the Legislature pursuant to
Minnesota Statutes § 469.43.
In 2013, the Minnesota Legislature took an extraordinary step: it created the Destination
Medical Center initiative to ensure that Minnesota would remain the world’s leader in health,
science, and innovation. That vision has proven both sound and forward-looking. Today, DMC
stands as an initiative that has delivered measurable economic growth, fiscal return, and public
benefit while operating with exceptional transparency and discipline.
Since adopting a Development Plan in 2015, DMC has verified nearly $1.8 billion in
qualified private investment, leveraged by nearly $200 million in public infrastructure aid. These
investments have transformed Rochester’s downtown, created thousands of jobs, and
strengthened Minnesota’s tax base. They have also reaffirmed the Legislature’s original intent:
that limited, performance-based public investment, directed by a strong local partnership, could
secure a generational advantage for our state’s economy.
This year, the DMCC and City updated the DMC Development Plan, fulfilling the statutory
requirement to recalibrate the program at least every five years. That update adapted our
strategies to changing market conditions, engaged our community in setting priorities, and
documented DMC’s results in clear, verifiable terms. The updated plan sets the course for our
next phase, centered on encouraging health and med-tech innovation, catalyzing purposeful
growth like Mayo Clinic’s $5 billion campus expansion, called Bold. Forward. Unbound. in
Rochester, and leveraging that growth to design and build resilient, people-centered public space
and infrastructure.
A prominent example of that innovation strategy is BioLabs Rochester, which is soon to
offer nearly 16,000 square feet of shared wet-lab and office space for emerging health- and med-
tech companies. BioLabs is an international-caliber research and commercialization asset, and
its presence in Minnesota is only possible because of Mayo Clinic’s global scale, the community’s
commitment to remaining America’s City for Health, and the long-term public–private framework
the Legislature created through DMC. As a result, Minnesota’s med-tech and biotech
entrepreneurs will soon have access to infrastructure that expands opportunity statewide and
strengthens our position in globally competitive industries.
February [10], 2026
Page 4
Throughout this work, DMC has continued to uphold the trust the Legislature placed in it.
All state aid is released only after certification of private investment by the Department of
Employment and Economic Development (DEED). Every expenditure is reviewed and approved
by the City of Rochester and the DMCC Board in public meetings, and DEED plays an important
role in auditing and certifying public and private investments. This layered oversight structure
has kept the initiative disciplined, accountable, and transparent.
What began as a bold idea is now a proven model - one that other states look to as they
consider how to link innovation, infrastructure, and community prosperity. Through DMC,
Minnesota is not only home to the world’s most trusted medical institution; it has become a living
example of how partnership, prudence, and vision can drive statewide economic success. In an
era of global competition for talent and investment, DMC strengthens Minnesota’s brand as a
place where science, commerce, and community thrive together.
The years ahead will build on this foundation. The DMCC and City will continue to deliver
projects responsibly, preserve reserves for DMC’s next phase, and expand partnerships that
extend DMC’s benefits across Minnesota.
We are deeply grateful for the State’s trust and partnership in this work, and we remain
committed to ensuring that this unique economic development program continues to deliver
measurable growth, public accountability, and pride for our entire state.
Respectfully submitted,
Pamela Wheelock, Chair Kim Norton, Mayor

DMC has generated more than $1.6 billion in estimated new net tax

In 2025, a vision and design framework was developed, resulting in a set of public

DOWNTOWN PROPERTY PRESERVATION
The DMC Development Plan “states the preservation of historic landmarks and
districts is an important part of a city’s historic fabric … As the DMC implementation
process moves forward, we recommend the EDA work with federal agencies, state
agencies and local organizations to evolve strategies and programs to incentivize
historic preservation [in the] DMC District.” On January 22, 2024, the City established
a thirty-two-property, commercial historic district located within the DMC District.
On May 23, 2024, the DMCC approved the allocation funding for public
infrastructure projects within the commercial historic district. Since then, more than
a dozen properties have been approved by the DMCC resulting in preservation,
improvement, adaptive reuse, and substantial private investment.
Progress continued on the approximately three-mile bus rapid transit project
known as “Link BRT.” In 2025, major construction and procurement efforts

improvements; and ongoing communication and construction mitigation

adjacent service areas. Rapid transit service is expected to commence in late 2027.

DISCOVERY WALK
Discovery Walk is a four-block linear parkway along 2nd Avenue SW. It connects
Annenberg Plaza to Soldiers Field Memorial Park and functions as an extension of the
Heart of the City public realm project. Discovery Walk is designed to feel like a park and to
promote health, wellness, and innovation by creating a high amenity pedestrian

Additionally, several pre-development capital planning and investment efforts are

award of a Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) grant to support the

team in close coordination and partnership with Mayo Clinic, DMC, and the City of
Rochester. More than 42 different major site development components are being
coordinated between these partners, setting the conditions for comprehensive
public and private site development. Currently one major private project, a Mayo
Clinic-owned parking ramp, is underway and another, a private senior housing
development, is anticipated. Critical infrastructure is expected to be in place by the
planned opening of the Link Bus Rapid Transit line in late 2027.
