GROW Minnesota Evidences Continues Strong EGF Economy
As announced last May the Chamber and the East Grand Forks EDA partnered with ldquoGrow Minnesotardquo a distinctive business retention and assistance program led by the Minnesota Chamber of Commerce
Barry Wilfahrt of the Chamber and Paul Gorte of the East Grand Forks Economic Development Authority visited 15 EGF businesses during the summer The businesses reflect a cross-section of employers with a business focus that expands beyond the local area They are pleased to announce their findings In general the findings are highly favorable to East Grand Forks but express reservations about the business climate tax structure and regulatory environment in Minnesota on a statewide level
bull East Grand Forks is a stable locally controlled business environment In general there is room to meet the current need and to expand
bull Local companies are diversifying and doing quite well from a profitability perspective
bull Workforce demand continues to grow
bull Workforce development must be a priority for future growth and expansion
bull East Grand Forks companies are in a growth mode and have plans for new investments
The companies shared their thoughts about the State and local area They are concerned with the business climate in Minnesota The companies talked about Minnesota taxes Workers Comp rates minimum wage State mandates higher taxes resulting from the reassessments in Polk County and the regulatory climate specifically MCPA
In contrast EGF businesses like the local community support of the city and local customers The companies talked about the need for another bridge They praised employee and community loyalty They noted City Hall is responsive The companies said East Grand Forks is a solid community to do business in They also noted the challenges of the weather In short they look favorably on East Grand Forks

GROW Minnesota Evidences Continues Strong EGF Economy
As announced last May the Chamber and the East Grand Forks EDA partnered with ldquoGrow Minnesotardquo a distinctive business retention and assistance program led by the Minnesota Chamber of Commerce
Barry Wilfahrt of the Chamber and Paul Gorte of the East Grand Forks Economic Development Authority visited 15 EGF businesses during the summer The businesses reflect a cross-section of employers with a business focus that expands beyond the local area They are pleased to announce their findings In general the findings are highly favorable to East Grand Forks but express reservations about the business climate tax structure and regulatory environment in Minnesota on a statewide level
bull East Grand Forks is a stable locally controlled business environment In general there is room to meet the current need and to expand
bull Local companies are diversifying and doing quite well from a profitability perspective
bull Workforce demand continues to grow
bull Workforce development must be a priority for future growth and expansion
bull East Grand Forks companies are in a growth mode and have plans for new investments
The companies shared their thoughts about the State and local area They are concerned with the business climate in Minnesota The companies talked about Minnesota taxes Workers Comp rates minimum wage State mandates higher taxes resulting from the reassessments in Polk County and the regulatory climate specifically MCPA
In contrast EGF businesses like the local community support of the city and local customers The companies talked about the need for another bridge They praised employee and community loyalty They noted City Hall is responsive The companies said East Grand Forks is a solid community to do business in They also noted the challenges of the weather In short they look favorably on East Grand Forks
