The Southwest Initiative Foundation (SWIF) has partnered with many regional entities, including our colleagues at the Southern Minnesota Initiative Foundation in Owatonna, to form the Southern Minnesota Regional Competitiveness Project, designed to build a development strategy focused on the key assets within the 38 counties of the southern portion of our state.
We believe this project will help us build on the important work we’ve already done in building our regional capacity for success by getting more leaders with important experience and knowledge involved.
