Serving Development
The cities of South St.
Paul and Inver Grove Heights have been serving business and commercial
enterprises of all kinds for more than a century.
Building on the area's strong work ethic, the cities and the business
community created a unique and aggressive program of economic development
called Progress Plus.
This Public/Private Partnership is designed to accommodate planned
development in Inver Grove Heights and South St. Paul.
Progress Plus, a nonprofit 501(c)3, seats Mayors, City Officials,
Chamber of Commerce Officers and Business Leaders in the community
on its Board of Directors.
By implementing the program, developers, brokers, site locators and
local expanding businesses will be able to move their projects through
the local approval process and facilitate expansion and relocation
needs quickly and smoothly.
Progress Plus, as a cost free service:
Meets regularly with city and government officials to facilitate development
projects.
Works closely with local and regional financial resources.
Assists prospects in meeting and working with local leaders and decision
makers.
Has a time tested, proven track record of success in economic development
efforts.
