The City of Goodview
Introduction
The City of Goodview is located in Winona County in the beautiful southeastern portion of Minnesota and shares the shores of the Mississippi River with Wisconsin. Goodview is centrally located and adjacent to Winona.. It has access to benefits of a larger city such as accessibility to entertainment, restaurants, cultural events, businesses, airports, the Amtrak and rail freight services while keeping its small town charm. Luckily, these big city amenities do not come with the same high costs and stress typically associated with living or operating a business within a large city.
The City of Goodview has a whole host of businesses from trucking companies to roofers and design companies. The most represented industry is manufacturing, which is approximately 50% of all businesses in Goodview. Goodview is home to many types of manufacturers including but not limited to knitwear, printing, building equipment, building materials, metal wire, and much more.
The City has many great opportunities for businesses of all types. With proximity to Highway 61, which is only minutes from any location in Goodview, and I-90 only 10 miles away, Goodview reaps the benefits of consistent traffic. Furthermore, the Canadian Pacific Railroad runs through the City and the Winona Municipal Airport shares borders with the City.
