Future Opportunities in Greater Minnesota

Mainstreet Fergus Falls, MinnesotaSeveral new reports this month focus on topics related to Greater Minnesota and the outlook is positive. The Center for Rural Policy and Development (CRPD), a nonpartisan research organization, discusses potentially significant economic opportunities in Greater Minnesota in Pandemic Paints a Different Employment Picture in Rural Minnesota. As the pandemic winds down, they predict a unique circumstance: a large pool of job-seeking workers and a large number of available jobs. The most significant barrier for this development is that there is a disconnect between the skill sets of the unemployed workers and the unfilled jobs. 

Also from CRPD, Child Care in Rural Minnesota after 2020: A Unique Opportunity, focuses solely on the historical issue of lack of available child care in Greater Minnesota. They predict, as unemployed workers fill vacant jobs throughout the state, that child care systems will play an essential role in economic development. CRPD’s Center of Everywhere podcast discusses some of the community-level solutions explored in the report. 

Mobility options abound in Greater Minnesota. There were 37 public transit systems and intercity bus providers across 80 Greater Minnesota counties operating in 2019. The 2020 Transit Report: A Guide to Minnesota's Public Transit Systems reviews the funding for transit in Greater Minnesota and profiles each of these transit systems and providers, painting a positive state of the industry.
