The Anoka County Regional Economic Development Partnership was honored with a 2019 Economic Development Association of Minnesota Award during EDAM’s Winter Conference in St. Louis Park.

The award was given to the Anoka County Regional Economic Development Partnership — which was formed in 2017 as a collaborative effort between Anoka County, Connexus Energy and the MetroNorth Chamber of Commerce — for its Economic Development Roadmap and innovative partnership.  Bruce Sayler, principal of community and economic development at Connexus Energy, was nominated for his key role in getting the partnership started, and he accepted the award on behalf of the partnership.
