RESCO Breaks Ground on Site of New Warehouse and Offices in Dilworth, MN

2026 is a year of celebration for RESCO, as we commemorate our 90 years of providing service to utilities throughout the Midwest and Northern Plains. And last month, we achieved another important milestone in the history of our cooperative, as ground was broken on the site of our new facility in Dilworth, MN

Situated on 15 acres, the 72,000-square-foot location (60,000 square feet of warehouse storage space and 12,000 square feet of office space) reflects our continued commitment to providing our electric utility members and customers with exceptional service and reliable inventory, as well as quick response to weather-related and storm damage needs. The facility will serve our member cooperatives and municipal utilities throughout the state of Minnesota and the Dakotas.

The new warehouse and offices will be located at 1606 28th Ave. N., Dilworth, MN 56529. Utility services for the facility will be provided by RESCO member Red River Valley Co-Op Power.

RESCO team members and product inventory at our current Moorhead, MN facility will transition to the new site upon its completion, which we anticipate will be in early 2027 (with full operations beginning in Spring 2027).

The Dilworth site will be our third new warehouse facility opened in the past five years (Elkhart, IA in 2022 and Stanley, WI in 2024).

Joining RESCO President and CEO Matt Brandrup and Regional Vice President Chris Pederson at the groundbreaking were Dilworth Mayor Chad Olson; Peyton Mastera, Dilworth city administrator; Rich Whitcomb, CEO of Red River Valley Cooperative Power Association; Melissa Beach, economic development administrator at Minnkota Power Cooperative; personnel from our architect firm, River Valley Architects; representatives from our builder, Market & Johnson; and other local officials.
