The Lanesboro Economic Development Authority (EDA) is excited to announce that it has been awarded a grant from the Southern Minnesota Initiative Foundation (SMIF) in the amount of $4,200.00. These funds will be used to host a Business Enrichment Series for entrepreneurs and local leaders. These Business Enrichment Workshops will be provided at no cost to the attendees and will deliver information on topics such as marketing and succession planning. While this series is currently in its planning phase, look for more information at the start of the new year!
Part of the preparation for these courses is to learn what topics are of the most interest to the business community. The EDA would like to make the series as beneficial as possible and will be working with the Lanesboro Chamber of Commerce to conduct an online survey gathering relevant information for designing these workshops. All members of the community are encouraged to participate. If you do not receive an email from the Lanesboro Chamber of Commerce, the survey can be found at the city website at Lanesboro-mn.gov. Surveys will be accepted until the end of the year.
