Welcome to Austin

Ready, Set, Tour!

The Community Concierge program promotes Austin as a great place to live, work, and play, and provides new and prospective residents the information and connections they need to quickly assimilate to the community. Community Concierge, Kristen Olson, works with more than 200 newcomer families each year to help them navigate through all aspects of settling into life in Austin. She also assists trailing spouses in finding jobs. Throughout the year, Kristen hosts a number of Awesome Austin networking and engagement events and also a book club designed to highlight different parts of SE Minnesota and Minnesota authors. Last year, nearly 400 new residents attended these events and made some new friends!
