Success Stories

Awarded a grant from the Southern Minnesota Initiative Foundation, the Fairmont Economic Development Association, in partnership with the Fairmont Area Chamber of Commerce, funded the Brain Gain Project. The endeavor included launching a website, FairmontAreaLife.com, conducting assorted social media campaigns to recruit folks between the ages of 30 and 49 to relocate to friendly Fairmont to life, work and play. The project’s brand – “All We’re Missing is You” – is a hit with residents, visitors and local businesses.
