The Hangar Photo Gallery

Welcome to the Heartland Lakes Development Commission gallery, where the people, places, and progress of Hubbard County and the Heartland Lakes communities—Park Rapids, Nevis, Akeley, Dorset, Lake George, and the surrounding area—come to life. Here you’ll see how HLDC embodies a welcoming, community-first, and collaborative spirit that is pro-business and practical, grounded in data and outcomes that support our mission to Inspire and Retain Economic Growth. We work across advanced manufacturing, food processing, trade and transportation, tourism and outdoor recreation, and entrepreneurship to expand shoulder-season visitation, strengthen local businesses, and grow a thriving, livable region with a live-where-you-vacation quality of place. Our efforts include growing populations, expanding revenue streams, supporting small businesses and startups through The Hangar, and advancing quality-of-place initiatives like Pine Crest, Heartland Heights, and County Line Estates, all while maintaining accountability, integrity, leadership, creativity, and collaboration.
