ND Department of Commerce Tours Steele Area
Wednesday, June 4th, 2008The atmosphere at Cottonwood Golf Course was relaxed last Friday as three members from the North Dakota Department of Commerce, Laura Willard, Gordon La France and Eric Icard presented a brief overview of what they can do to help smaller rural communities continue to thrive. Laura was instrumental in helping Steele bring Verety, a work from home remote order service company, to the community several years ago.
After lunch a small group of people toured DeVore Custom Meats, Zimmerman Manufacturing, BEK Communications and KIDCO Farms in Dawson. For more information on the Department of Commerce go to their web site at www.growingnd.com .
Steele Area Economic Development and the Horizons steering committee partnered together to provide this working lunch for interested area leaders.
