Industrial Park

North Star Building Systems, Inc. is a custom builder of modular buildings for their dealer base in the upper Midwest. Established in 1995, North Star constructed an office and manufacturing facility in nearby Marshall, MN, building ramblers, tri-level, spit entry, two story, cape cod and other designs as well as light commercial and multi-family buildings. With demand growing in the summer of 1995, North Star answered their increased production needs by adding a manufacturing facility in Tracy. Since the first year in Tracy, the production at this facility has continued to grow. The Tracy plant provides the production for seasonal production needs as well as special projects. Their buildings are custom designed to meet the customer's priorities. They are typically built to approximately 85% complete depending on the design and customer requirements. Garages, decks, porches and other items are provided by the builder/dealer on-site. The buildings are all built to the current IBC and IRC codes as well as the respective state building codes and standards. The inspection process provides state inspection as well as local in-plant inspection and quality control on each job which, provides an improved code compliant structure.

Pilots bound for Tracy will find a 3,000-foot-long hard-surface runway and two grass landing strips. The runway can accommodate the big King Air 8-passenger prop plane, although the airport is more frequently used by single-engine, 4-passenger planes.

Tracy is not a controlled field; pilots come and go on their own. Fuel is available. One hangar is designed primarily for maintenance; eight individual hangars are available for lease, overnight or long-term.

The airport sponsors a fly-in breakfast - open to the public as well as pilots - each year on Labor Day. Last year, 400 breakfasts were served. The airport is located adjacent to Swift Park, with camping facilities.
