ABOUT US


  • Our goal is to be the premiere economic development agency in the State of Minnesota.

  • Our mission, simply put, is to create jobs, raise incomes and broaden the city’s tax base. To accomplish these goals the Hutchinson EDA is engaged in a number of activities:

  • Business Retention & Expansion - It is our belief that Hutchinson's best source of economic growth & development is our existing companies. Consequently, we visit our local companies on a regular basis to build & maintain strong relationships with them. During these visits our main goal is to identify ways that we can help our local companies be successful and grow.

  • Downtown Developmen
    t - A strong downtown is the key to a strong community. A lot of our efforts therefore are geared towards maintaining and strengthening Main Street Hutchinson. The "Downtown Revitalization Master Plan," along with our downtown loan & grant programs, provide strong catalysts for private development. Projects like the State Theater, Jorgenson Hotel, the Streetscape, the Liquor Hutch expansion & Cornerstone Commons all play a role in keeping our downtown thriving!

  • Industrial Park Development - To promote the continued economic growth of the city, the Hutchinson EDA works to ensure that we have industrial park & building space readily available. Our goal is to have, on-hand, exactly what companies are looking for so that we can provide solutions today.

  • Business Recruitment - The Hutchinson EDA researches and actively recruits new companies to come to Hutchinson. In addition, we provide technical and financial assistance for new companies just getting started.

  • Financial Assistance
    - Financing is the single most important ingredient of economic development. The Hutchinson EDA operates two grant programs and two revolving loan funds having more than $1.3 million in assets to provide "gap" financing for qualified business projects. In addition, we can pull together a multitude of other financial resources to help make projects happen.

  • Technical Assistance
    - The Hutchinson EDA is the first point of contact for all local, regional, State & Federal business resources and information. We assist with everything from helping entrepreneurs formulate & refine their initial business plans to project financing, location assistance, labor resources, demographics and so forth. If there is a way we can help, we'll do it!

  • This web site is intended to be the ultimate "one-stop-shop" for businesses and individuals seeking information about economic development opportunities in the City of Hutchinson.
