NMMA was formed to combine the strengths and resources of its <br /> members for the purpose of fostering economic progress, stimulating growth in public <br /> and private development, and increasing legislative influence throughout our region. As <br /> a group, our member cities have greater impact with state and federal legislators, the <br /> Metropolitan Council, developers, and the business/financial community. The intended <br /> result is to have the Association's impact affect changes beneficial to the entire North <br /> Metro area, and therefore, to each city in the Association. <br /> North Metro Development Association is designed as the marketing arm of the North <br /> Metro Mayors Associa ' nand has been in existence for two years Tts_missi.an • <br /> promote economic development and redevelopment, and to enhance the image of the <br /> entire North Metro area.
