Center City is located in Chisago County, 45 miles northeast of the Twin Cities. It is located between Taylor’s Falls and Chisago City, and near Wild River State Park.

Situated on North Center Lake, and entirely surrounded by lakes, Center City is a small city vastly rich in natural resources. Its downtown has a historic district, which included an antique mall. As it grows, the city wants to maintain its small city feel, while conserving its natural areas, farms, woods and lakes.

The city recognizes the importance of planning for its growth, to balance the commercial, residential, recreational and wild areas in the city. Center City urgently needs qualified professionals to guide its city staff, council and planning commission, resources that CGO can offer.
