About Community Development
Minnesota communities can tap into the Department of Employment and Economic Development’s financial and technical assistance programs to help spur business growth while addressing important revitalization issues. DEED offers grants, loans and technical assistance for redevelopment projects and activities, including housing and commercial rehabilitation, wastewater treatment facilities and drinking water systems, and contaminated site clean-up.
Community development staff offer information about business development and site selection services and provide access to specialists in several industries. The department’s MNPRO system – www.mnpro.com – provides current information about commercial and industrial development sites across the state and detailed profiles of virtually any Minnesota community, including tribal communities.
Whatever your needs, we can provide customized assistance and guidance to help make your project more competitive, or to customize a package of technical assistance to form realistic community development plans.
