Development
Currently, Taconite Harbor consists of a power plant, foundations and an abandoned basketball court. As of 2009, the Minnesota Power Company is looking towards development on an area that they own, but do not need. This development may include a sewer system, various commercial businesses centered on a village square, paved parking lots, and a City Hall (which would then make Taconite Harbor an incorporated city). The community is also expected to be a major stop along the Gitchi-Gami State Trail.
