The team behind development of the Minnesota Vikings’ campus in Eagan is growing, along with the physical transformation of the site once known as the world headquarters of Northwest Airlines.
St. Paul-based Ecolab announced Thursday morning that it is joining a group of investors backing development of a four-star hotel under construction on the Viking Lakes property, the home and training facility of the NFL team since it opened just over a year ago.
Ecolab CEO Doug Baker said the partnership with MV Eagan Ventures, owned by team owners Zygi and Mark Wilf, makes sense given that the company has a 2,000-employee research and development facility within a mile of the hotel.
