A citizen-driven community encourages a strong infrastructure for thriving businesses, schools and services.
Our Healthy Communities Partnership (HCP) program trains and supports local communities to develop and implement plans that strengthen their communities.
Our Community Funds are developed by local communities that wish to designate their community-derived funds to projects within their local area.
Our Methamphetamine program assists with creation and support of local coalitions to combat and prevent methamphetamine production and use.
FIRST Grant Project
Summary:
In order to help the Chisago, Isanti, Pine & Kanabec county areas become stronger and better prepared for future growth, community members were invited to share their experiences and suggestions about the assets and barriers for local businesses and growth.
The results of local meetings and surveys have now been compiled (see below) and will be used to develop and implement a regional economic development strategy specifically for these counties.
The project is organized by the Northern Technology Initiative, a regional economic development organization, in partnership with the Initiative Foundation. Funding support is provided by a Framework for Integrated Regional Strategies (FIRST) grant from the Minnesota Department of Employment and Economic Development (DEED).
If you are interested in more information about this project please contact Sandy Voigt.
