Business Expansion Reports
Overview
Our annual Business Expansion Report highlights business startups and expansions at various stages of development from Minnesota firms statewide.
We make these data available to various economic development publications, including Site Selection magazine. Each year, based on voluntary reporting, Site Selection ranks states on a number of factors relating to economic development. Minnesota’s dynamic economy is consistently and favorably positioned in this high-profile annual survey, placing in many of the top-ten lists.

Information Gathering Sources
Business activity is researched using a variety of sources including metro and regional newspapers, business and real estate journals, construction company newsletters, Internet research and staff referrals. DEED and/or JOBZ Initiative involvement is not a project measure to qualify for admission into the report.
Project Eligibility
Data is gathered for many types of projects, not just those meeting Site Selection magazine’s criteria, i.e., all JOBZ projects are listed for the year.
