Grand Meadow Business Community Members-

As you may have heard, the Grand Meadow EDA was recently awarded a grant from the State of Minnesota to create a Business Retention and Expansion program. The first step in developing this program is reaching out to members of the Grand Meadow business community for your input.

To that end, we have developed an online survey available at https://forms.office.com/r/PfYLCHjVjq.

The survey takes between 3-5 minutes to complete, and the EDA will use the results in the program development. The survey will only be open until 6 pm on July 18, so please take a few minutes now to run through it. Thanks for your assistance!
