Governor Tim Walz and the Minnesota Department of Employment and Economic Development (DEED) today announced more than $5 million for three business expansion projects in the state. The projects are expected to support 175 jobs and leverage $72 million in outside investment.
"We didn't achieve our ranking as a top state for business by accident. We earn that reputation by investing in business expansion, supporting innovation, and driving business growth," said Governor Walz. "These projects will create good-paying jobs and expand Minnesota's leadership in health care and medical technology."
