With the infrastructure in the downtown area in need of maintenance, there is a need to increase the <br /> amount of development, grow the tax base and get a higher return on the reinvestment in this <br /> infrastructure. <br /> PATRIOT AVENUE CORRIDOR <br /> Outside of the downtown, the former Highway 371 corridor, now Patriot Avenue, has developed in an auto- <br /> oriented pattern. For the most part, this development is not tied to municipal utilities and has developed <br /> in a somewhat random distribution. There are areas where development is ciustered together and other areas <br /> where there are large gaps between enterprises. <br /> EMPLOYMENT <br /> These three geographic areas of development have created a local economy that is highly service- <br /> oriented. Information provided by Minnesota Employment and Economic Development indicates 51�0 of the <br /> jobs in Pequot Lakes are service-related. The estimated population for Pequot Lakes is 2,226. The United <br /> States Census Bureau in 2015 found roughly 15� of the workforce live and are employed in the City. <br /> Approximately 85%of the workers employed in the City live elsewhere. <br /> Entertainment <br /> I ndustrial <br /> 21 Employment <br /> 23 <br /> Government <br /> 97 <br /> .
