Greater MSP Launch Event

Press release from Greater MSP.

GREATER MSP, the Minneapolis Saint Paul Regional Economic Development Partnership, unveils their strategy for changing the trajectory for job growth in the region. Founded in March, the private-public partnership has spent the last six months working with allies from eleven counties in the greater metropolitan region and partnered with several of the top strategic and marketing consulting firms to develop a best-practice program that attacks economic development on all fronts.

As one of the largest economies in the world, the Greater Minneapolis Saint Paul region is a globally relevant force in international markets. However, until now it has been one of the only major metropolitan areas without a regional approach to economic development and as a result has been seen itself lagging behind other competitive markets. That is all changing.

On October 11, an audience of the region’s top executives, public officials, and economic development practitioners will get an insider’s look at the future of our region. They will see examples of the region’s new brand and marketing campaign and hear how GREATER MSP will help coordinate and enhance the business retention, expansion, and recruitment for the region. Among the presenters will be GREATER MSP CEO Michael Langley, Chairman of the
Board and Ecolab, Inc. CEO Doug Baker, Governor Mark Dayton, and many others who will share the exciting new path to a prosperous future over the course of the evening.

The event will be held at Pantages Theatre. The doors open at 5:30 p.m., the program will begin at 6 p.m. and will be followed by a reception at 7 p.m.
