NORMAN COUNTY BUSINESS ASSISTANCE GRANT PROGRAM

In response to the economic hardships experienced by small businesses and nonprofit organizations resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic, the Minnesota State Legislature recently provided additional state funding to Minnesota counties for allocation to small businesses and nonprofit organizations in an effort to retain jobs and stabilize the business community. As a result, Norman County has received approximately $250,000.00 from the State of Minnesota and has established a Business Assistance Grant Program in order to get this money allocated as soon as possible. This program is designed to provide emergency funding for businesses/organizations located in Norman County that have lost revenue as a result of the various executive orders issued by Governor Walz. In order to be considered for program funding, each business/organization must complete the required application form and mail it to the Norman County EDA, P.O. Box 3, Ada, MN 56510, or email to auditor@co.norman.mn.us. Completed applications must be postmarked or received via email by February 18, 2021.

    Norman County named #1 in Minnesota,     #6 in the United States for value

The Norman County EDA and residents have reason to smile.  According to a survey by Smart Asset in Sept. 2018, Norman County is the #1 Minnesota county for its value and #6 in the nation.

Some counties deliver a greater return on residents’ property taxes than others. A study by financial technology company Smart Asset compares counties across the U.S., measuring local crime rates and school quality relative to effective property tax rates. As wonderful as this is... wait until you experience the recreation!
