The objective <br /> is to demonstrate community support for local businesses. The University of Minnesota Extension <br /> Center has implemented the program in 60 communities across Minnesota. The program benefits the <br /> community by providing resources to businesses for solving immediate problems and establishes and <br /> implements a community strategic plan for economic development. The main goal of the program is to <br /> build and maintain strong relationships between the City and the businesses in Hugo. Over the last <br /> few months the leadership team and task force members conducted business visits to survey their <br /> input on the community and local economy. The leadership team and task force members are a <br /> compilation of community leaders, economic developers, educators, and business owners. So far, 38 <br /> businesses have been visited and surveyed, and each has received help locating business resources <br /> they requested. In the beginning of March 2010 the U of M Extension staff will present the full report of <br /> the survey results and the implementation strategies identified.
