“Partnerships with county and regional economic development organizations like the Cass County Economic Development Corporation are key to the success of the Small Business Development Centers,” said Greg Bergman, regional director of the SBDC at Central Lakes College. “Having someone experienced and knowledgeable within the county adds a lot of value to the services we provide on a regional basis.”

The EDC is a satellite center of the North Central Minnesota SBDC in Brainerd. Through this partnership, the EDC offers counseling to relocating, expanding or new businesses in Cass County.
