Region 5 To Study Area's Competitiveness

The Region Five Development Commission will use a HUD grant to study population growth, loss of family farms, pressure on natural resources,
access to public transportation choices and affordable housing in area counties.
The commission wants to determine how the area compares with the rest of the state.

A kick-off meeting will be held on February 23rd from 4:00 – 6:00 pm at The Lodge in Baxter. Interested citizens in Cass, Crow Wing, Morrison, Todd and Wadena counties are encouraged to attend.

Those who attend will be asked to share their views and ideas on a wide variety of topics.
