Rosemount would benefit from a membership and what role

There is n effort that got started about a year and one half ago

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

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.

For instance, you can use MPO today to consult
directly with thousands of the country's leading
technical experts who can answer your
questions in virtually every area of science and
technology - often within minutes. You can
even gather relevant technical and business
literature from libraries around the world, with-
out leaving your office.
These very same services are now being used
for competitive advantage by more than a thou-
sand of the nation's larger, most successful
companies.
Now your business may have limited free access
to this information if the company:
* is Minnesota-based
* has less than $10 million in annual
sales revenue.
Metro East Development Partnership is a public
access point for the MPO system. MEDP is a
non-profit economic development organization
supporting business retention, expansion and
start-ups in Washington, Dakota and Ramsey
counties.
Your company can have limited free access to
the system at MEDP or at any one of several
public access points in the Twin Cities.
You can use the system to:
*Receive expert assistance with
technical questions
*Conduct a literature search through
more than 1,200 databases
*Find vendors or producers of certain
products
how do I apply?
* What is causing this product failure?
* Who can supply me with this needed
equipment or material?
* What can we do to lower our produc-
tion costs?
* What are my competitors' strengths
and weaknesses?
Sound familiar? You're not alone. These are the
kinds of information needs that businesses
wrestle with every day.
What's The Catch?
No catch! This opportunity is every bit as
remarkable as it sounds. In 1989, our legislature
created MPO to promote the growth of small
business throughout the state. It's an investment
in Minnesota's economic future. If you take the
necessary steps, your company may be one of
the beneficiaries.

The Metro East Development Partnership
(MEDP) was created in 1987. The formation of
MEDP was prompted by a growing recognition
among business and government leaders that the
area's economic livelihood was dependent upon
a regional approach to retention and expansion
of the economic base. Formed as a non-profit
regional economic development organization,
MEDP is the economic development division of
the Saint Paul Area Chamber of Commerce and
serves Dakota, Ramsey and Washington counties.

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.
