Counties in the MNREM Region

Minnesota's multiple strengths in the renewable energy industry present its South Central, Southwest, and West Central regions with a unique opportunity for renewed economic vitality. This landscape has two defining characteristics: agriculture and supporting manufacturing. Both are challenged to adapt and transform from traditional resource and industrial-based economic models to a more knowledge-based economy. Rooted in the legacies of agriculture stewardship and entrepnreeurship, the Alliance seeks new ways to contribute to the region's growth and competitiveness. Critical emerging industries based in renewable energy and biosciences are revitalizing the inherent know-how and spirit of entrepreneurship in this region.
