I like knowing who I am buying from. I like being able to do that in person. I like knowing who to contact if I have a problem. I like supporting a business that supports our community.
Next month, we will launch our final campaign push through a public ask to all businesses and community members in the region. Reach out if you have questions or want to know how to support the YMCA.
North Dakota ranks last in Midwest states for people 35 and younger purchasing homes, coming in 40th place nationwide. Which state came in first? Minnesota.
Only a small percentage of the YMCA鈥檚 revenue comes from local donations. The YMCA is currently meeting with local nonprofits to share details on their fundraising and seek opportunities for partnership and collaboration.
It is our responsibility at Greater Bemidji to lay the foundation for a strong regional economy through hard work and leadership 鈥� to increase the chances of our region having a year of serendipity.
I want to encourage us to focus on the things that unite us, rather than the issues that divide us. Our shared values as community members can bring us together.
Every successful initiative at Greater Bemidji has been done in partnership with others in our community. We are deeply grateful for all those who partner to build a prosperous region.
I don鈥檛 claim to be a deep-thinking guy, but I鈥檝e been thinking about my career and questioning what it is about the field of economic development that has kept me motivated and engaged.
