“We are honored to join our neighboring cities, whom we already work closely with, to address the evolving needs of southern Minnesota. Working together as a group to further enhance the opportunities that this region has to offer is exciting,” City Administrator Liz Wille said.

Every public dollar invested in the REDA partnership in 2022 resulted in $426 in private capital investment.

That partnership is now stronger with the addition of Madison Lake.”
