2023 STATE OF BUSINESS RETENTION AND EXPANSION IN MINNESOTA
31 May 2023
In 2003, the Minnesota Chamber of Commerce formed a partnership with over two dozen local chambers and economic development organizations to conduct ongoing outreach to Minnesota companies. The focus of this outreach was to thank businesses for their investment in Minnesota’s economy, ask them about their current challenges and future expansion plans and connect them to resources to stay and grow in Minnesota. Over the next twenty years, the Grow Minnesota!® program advanced this mission, working with over 90 local partners to conduct more than 13,500 one-on-one business retention and expansion visits with Minnesota business leaders and assist more than 3,200 businesses.
