About Progress Plus

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 nearly 20 years ago, 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, an economic development foundation of the River Heights Chamber of Commerce, seats mayors, city officials, chamber of commerce officers, real estate professionals, and business leaders in the community on its Board of Directors.

By implementing the program, developers, brokers, site locators and local expanding businesses are 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.
