Becker, Minnesota, a small community of around 5,000 residents, is known for housing the Sherburne County Generating Station, the state's largest coal-fired power plant. Located about 45 miles northwest of Minneapolis and adjacent to the Mississippi River, Becker is transitioning to a solar facility by 2030, aiming to reduce environmental hazards while maintaining local employment. The town features split-level and New Traditional homes on spacious lots, with properties in rural areas often spanning several acres. Central Becker offers quarter to third-acre lots, with homes primarily built from the 1990s to mid-2000s. Becker Intermediate School and Becker Middle School are highly rated, serving grades 3 through 8. Becker City Park, a year-round attraction, includes hiking and horse trails, a disc golf course, a dog park, and winter activities like cross-country skiing and sledding. The Sherburne History Center provides educational programs and activities for children. Route 10, the main thoroughfare, connects Becker to St. Cloud (20 miles away) and Minneapolis (45 miles away), and is lined with cafés, pubs, and fast-food chains. Popular local spots include Charlie’s Sports Bar & Grill and Dueling Brews. The Becker Farmers Market operates from June to September, and residents often shop at nearby Monticello’s Cub Foods, Aldi, or Walmart Supercenter. Annual events like Becker Freedom Days and Kindness Week foster community spirit. While Becker’s air quality is impacted by the power plant, the upcoming shift to solar energy promises improvements.
