VHEDC & City of Vadnais Heights Launch Local Business Council

The Vadnais Heights Economic Development Corporation (VHEDC) and the City of Vadnais Heights have partnered to launch a series of Business Councils. These are opportunities open to business owners and employees to hear important information about the community.

The Vadnais Heights Business Councils are the result of the Business Retention & Expansion project that was completed in 2016 when the VHEDC and the City partnered to interview over 45 businesses in the community to solicit feedback. One of the goals of these meetings is to provide an open opportunity for businesses and employees in the community to get periodic updates about what is happening in the City. Vadnais Heights City Administrator, Kevin Watson stated, “The City is excited to launch these Business Councils as a way to further engage our vibrant business community. We look forward to the opportunity to give updates to local business leaders and hear about relevant issues that enhance economic growth in the City.”

The first Business Council will be on Wednesday, March 29th from 7:30 to 8:30 am at the Fairfield Inn and Suites in Vadnais Heights. The City will provide some community highlights, and there will be an engaging conversation about local commercial real estate trends with a panel of local area brokers. Panelists will be:

  • Mike Brass, Colliers International
  • Jeff Nordness, Essence Real Estate Services
  • John Chirhart, Gaughan Companies

Light breakfast refreshments will be served. There is no cost to attend but registrations are appreciated at https://vhedc1.wpengine.com/event/vh-business-council-march2017/

Thank you to Xcel Energy for sponsoring the 2017 Business Councils.
