Abstract
This conference poster presents the case of People's Energy Cooperative working with the University of Minnesota Extension's Connecting Businesses and Community program. The engagement created five takeaway objectives, which were integrated into the power cooperative's strategic plan. A Minnesota Automation Loan Participation Program was created in part because of this initiative.
Description
Extension's Business Retention and Expansion program has been around since 1990. This is the first instance of engaging directly with a power company to conduct business visitation and action planning for their service area. See the Business Retention and Expansion collection for many examples and learning resources.
