County EDA wants to aid businesses
By Chuck Hunt - Editor | May 2, 2021
The Faribault County Economic Development Authority (EDA) spent much of their meeting on Tuesday, April 20, discussing two new ideas of ways to help businesses in the county.
One idea was to host a business marketing event, while the other was to host a countywide job fair.
Both ideas are strictly in the early planning stages, County EDA specialist Annie Nichols noted.
The marketing event for businesses would focus on use of social media to promote local businesses.
“At the beginning of COVID many businesses, especially restaurants, were posting daily,” Nichols said. “But since then it has slowed significantly.”
