Paul and Inver Grove Heights maintain a limited p in Metro East and conduct their own economic nt program. The Chambers of Commerce in South St. r Grove Heights, along with the two cities fund a development cooperation, hire staff and market the The limited membership in Metro East is just to provide :xposure to the two cities marketing program and "be a hbor".

This includes Eden Prairie, Bloomington, Edina and others south and :st St. Paul is just looking now and trying to decide if )rts should be put into Metro East or into a Dakota )crram. There is n effort that got started about a year and one half ago in Dakota County which is attempting to organize a Dakota County Economic evelopment Organization which would serve all of Dakota County. 3outh St. Paul and Inver Grove Heights stressed the importancB of involvement in this group. I could r, involveme: boundarie and marke County or best plac a group o Burnsvill now by de I know th that our introduct lj mble on here but I believe the bottom line is that our t in economic development outside our corporate is essential. I believe that we must find our niche that niche aggressively. I do believe that a Dakota "Metro South" economic development group may be the for us to start. There has also been discussion about cities including Rosemount, Apple Valley, Eagan, and Lakeville which are being seen as a single unit elopers and businesses and could be marketed as such. t this all deserves much more discussion and I think resentation by Metro East on Monday will be a good on to that discussion. Metro of Raz the Du The well as INTRODUCTION t Development Partnership, as the regional economic development organization Washington and Dakota counties, is carrying its mission one step further with ttion of this directory. ;rship's mission of supporting business attraction, retention and start-ups is by guiding businesses to essential information resources. the directory, we identify the information sources we have in our offices as ifying partnerships we have fostered with more than 30 metropolitan .s that assist businesses. MEDP recognizes the vital importance of businesses, particularly small businesses. By most estimates, small businesses create 80 percent of all new permanent jobs. Fifty percent of all jobs in the United States are in businesses with less that 500 employees and they create new jobs at one-tenth the cost of Fortune 500 companies. In our co tinual quest to meet the needs of businesses that are currently in or thinking about relocatin to or expanding in the metro east area, we are introducing this manual full of informati n sources for your company's easiest or most complex questions. Matching businesses to resources is one of our main goals, and we believe it's one of our main strengths. We hope this directory meets your needs and we encourage you to use this directory to make your company more profitable. If you have questions, we are available at 224 -EAST. We look forward to our continued partnership in building metro east's economic base. Timothy G. Rogers Cheryl R.Baltzer Executive Director Market Research Analyst Deborah.

History May 1987 Formally introduced the Metro East Development Partnership with a kick-off and a three- year funded commitment by businesses and communities. Appointed a Board of Directors and formed a Management Committee to begin drafting articles of incorporation. July 1988 Held first MEDP annual meeting.

April 1990 Received two Certificate of Achievement Awards from the Mid-America Economic Development Council for marketing and demographic materials. April 1990 Adopted a three-year strategic plan, developed by PHH Fantus, an Economic Development Consulting Firm from Chicago, in conjunction with the MEDP Management Committee. June 1990 Held third MEDP annual meeting. July 1990 Hired a Manager of Business Information, in accordance with the strategic plan. August 1990 Initiated a $1.5 million fund-raising campaign. March 1991 Held fourth MEDP annual meeting. June 1991 Hired a Manager of Business Development, in accordance with the strategic plan. March 1992 Held fifth MEDP annual meeting. Responding to a Regional Need The metro east region's economy grew at a relatively sluggish pace through the early 1980's. Employment growth during this decade occurred at a significantly slower rate than in the metro west region. The opportunity costs of this comparative lag were not only lost jobs but lost revenue for metro east businesses and residents in the form of payroll, bank deposits, retail sales, real estate investment and property taxes. In response, the Metro East Development Partnership was formed to develop a regional approach to reten- tion and expansion of the economic base. Through its entrepreneurial development and business expansion efforts, MEDP helps create jobs and increase regional revenue. The ultimate benefits of MEDP's economic development programs will be an enhanced quality of life and a positive image for the metro east area.
