SEMLM Southeast MN Economic Study
Through a grant appropriation from DEED, in early 2018 SEMLM and CEDA engaged HR&A Advisors, Inc. to conduct a study to understand the economic growth facing cities and counties in Southeast Minnesota. The Southeast Minnesota Economic Impact Study aims to provide communities in the eight-county region with long-range population, employment, and economic forecasts at the county- and region-wide scales. These forecasts will equip municipalities, counties, and the Region with quality data that can inform long-range planning, guiding important municipal and county decision making for things like investment in new infrastructure and public works, municipal services and schools, land use planning, and strategic downtown planning, in addition to regional considerations about transportation investment and housing growth. With a clearer understanding of the future population and economy of Southeast Minnesota, the Region can work to ensure that this growth is equitable and sustainable, serving all residents and workers.

Region 10 SE MN CEDS
Our region is doing a CEDS (Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy) to meet the Federal EDA requirements to access federal economic development programs and funding.
SE MN Regional Transit
We have the opportunity now to develop a more complete and robust new regional transit system to serve our residents' multiple needs:
-
commuting for work, school, and shopping
-
going to medical or other appointments
-
visiting friends and family
-
attending events in the region
The planning process is underway! Funds and staff are getting put into action. Hear how your residents can make use of a regional transit system, and how you can participate. Be part of the planning, and part of the solution, of regional transit for your community and the region.
