For the past several <br /> years, the Economic Development department has produced an <br /> award-winning marketing program of postcards, brochures and <br /> other vehicles to promote development opportunities in Cottage <br /> Grove. Most of the marketing collateral features ED staff in <br /> black-tie attire with a message of high-quality, professional <br /> service to members of the development community. In 2002 <br /> and 2003, the Economic Development Association of Minnesota <br /> (www.edam.org) honored Cottage Grove with the "Best <br /> Marketing Campaign" award. <br /> EDA Golf Outing <br /> Since 1995, the Cottage Grove EDA has sponsored a golf outing <br /> to invite developers, construction contractors, and brokers to <br /> see and learn for themselves the development opportunities <br /> that exist in Cottage Grove. <br /> The event has grown bigger and more successful each year, <br /> selling out every year since 2002. From a modest beginning <br /> with only 30 golfers, the 2005 tournament attracted 120 <br /> participants From throughout the development community to <br /> River Oaks, Cottage Grove's course that is rated a Four Star <br /> Place to Play by Golf Digest. <br /> In 2007, the EDA will celebrate the 12th anniversary of the golf <br /> outing with special sponsorship levels, prizes, give-aways and <br /> marketing, including print ads, postcards, hole sponsorships <br /> and other promotional opportunities. The date of the 2007 <br /> tournament will be Tuesday, August 14.
