The program certifies communities as ready for electronic commerce (e- commerce). The main benefits of the program are that the community organizes all the information about its telecommunications infrastructure, addressing any gaps or shortcomings found and promoting itself as a location that is prepared for technology- oriented business. Rosemount has the opportunity to be certified as a city that is ready for e- commerce by participating in a county -wide effort organized by the Dakota County Economic Development Partnership (DCEDP). Rosemount would receive full certification, just as it would via a stand -alone effort, but will receive assistance from the Northern Dakota Chambers of Commerce and from Community Technology Advisors, a consultant retained by DCEDP. Certification is done by the Minnesota Department of Trade and Economic Development. There is a $1,000 fee for participation in the county -level effort. The Rosemount Port Authority recommends that the City of Rosemount pay the fee with funds donated by the Dakota Electric Association for community marketing and promotion.
