Expo 2031 Announces Lakeville as Host City for International Horticultural Exposition
What happened
Organizers of Expo 2031 announced that the city of Lakeville will serve as the host city for the event. The organizers are planning a six-month celebration focused on the human relationship with plants and the natural world, running from May to October 2031. For the legacy site, the organizers entered a purchase agreement for about 57 acres of undeveloped land located on the southwestern quadrant of Interstate 35 and Dakota County Road 70. This land was mostly previously owned by United Christian Academy Foundation in Bloomington.
