BACKGROUND
One of the questions regarding the City's marketing plan is how we are marketing to outside agencies.
There are various economic development groups both state -wide and nationally. The City has dabbled in a
couple of these groups as opportunities arise. There are several groups, EDAM, Positively MN, ULI,
where the City has been a member for several years.
The attached listing provides the organizations and a brief synopsis of what their charge is. A website has
been provided if individual members are interested in exploring these associations more.
