While competitive rates continue to be one of TEC's
greatest contributions to the economy of Southeastern Minnesota,
its economic development program helps attract new businesses
and expand others in rural communities. This program is focused
on improving the quality of life of its member and
the economic and social well being of the region.
TEC has aggressively played key roles in several important
development projects in Southeastern Minnesota, through financial
support, energy assistance, economic development incentive
rates and efficiency incentives. A small sample of this important
development work, in coordination with area developers, business
leaders, and our cooperative family — Dairyland Power Cooperative
include:
- City of Brownsville: Community Center
- City of Caledonia: Sno Pac Foods
- City of Harmony: Incubator Building
- City of Houston: Root River Market Cooperative
- City of Spring Grove: Red's Hometown Market
- Caledonia Lodging, Caledonia
- Pro-Corn LLC, Preston
- Rivercity Manufacturing and Machining Company, Goodview
- United Packaging Inc., Peterson
In addition, economic development specialists assist area
community leaders with a variety of other development projects
and major new customer opportunities as well as securing financial
assistance from other sources for projects in their communities.
TEC's service area encompasses a sizable network of organizations
to help businesses get off to a successful start. Once we
understand your situation, we can help you by putting you
in touch with the right people … those who are prepared
to provide the specific kind of help you need. We will also
work to network you with existing businesses to compliment
your organization or supply necessary resources.
