 Update from KEDA Director - Paul Nevanen Greetings from God's Country. The seagulls have returned to Koochiching County and that makes it official - spring is here. For the Koochiching Economic Development Authority (KEDA), spring coincides with planning for the coming year in anticipation of the construction season. With this update, we'd like to report on the status of several of the exciting projects we've referenced in past newsletters. We'd also like to provide those business owners and individuals that are doing their own future planning with information on how our area can meet your needs. It's as simple as that - we'd love to be in your future. |

Public Development Spurs "Destination Design" for Private Riverfront Investors "It takes two to make a thing go right- It takes two to make it outta sight…" Whether or not you can personally carry a tune, the lyrics for Rob Base & DJ EZ Rock's 1988 hit It Takes Two…it truly does take two to make a thing go right. It is about partnership - two entities working together to bring about optimal results. It is a great theme for the symbiotic nature of public investment spawning private investment along the Rainy River in International Falls. |
