The Mora Industrial Park recently received its Shovel Ready Site certification after, making both of Kanabec County’s industrial parks easily marketable to industrial businesses. The second, Braham Industrial Park, was certified in June 2018. The DEED's Shovel Ready Site Certification Program provides communities with a competitive edge in attracting business startups, expansions or relocations. The certification process requires that the most time-consuming technical and regulatory aspects of development are completed before lots are sold to businesses.

DEED publishes two employment estimates each month based on two separate surveys: The household survey (Current Population Survey) and the payroll survey (Current Employment Statistics or CES survey). The household survey asks households about their employment status; the payroll survey asks Minnesota employers how many workers they have on their payrolls. The numbers produce slightly different employment counts. Find out more on the DEED Developments blog.
