Thank you for taking the time to share your ideas regarding the future of your community and our region!

Input from this survey will assist in creating an economic development roadmap for our region called the Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy (CEDS). The CEDS is a five-year planning document required of Region Nine Development Commission to continue as Minnesota’s south central Economic Development District. In addition, it is a tool to help us mitigate our threats, overcome our weaknesses and capitalize on our strengths in the effort to create a more viable and prosperous region. Your input will help us understand what is most important to communities, local residents and business owners in Blue Earth, Brown, Faribault, Le Sueur, Martin, Nicollet, Sibley, Waseca and Watonwan counties and the region as a whole.
