NMMA was formed to combine the strengths and resources of its members for the purpose of fostering economic progress, stimulating growth in public and private development, and increasing legislative influence throughout our region. As a group, our member cities have greater impact with state and federal legislators, the Metropolitan Council, developers, and the business/financial community. The intended result is to have the Association's impact affect changes beneficial to the entire North Metro area, and therefore, to each city in the Association.
