Looking to start a big project that creates 5+ jobs, is manufacturing, industrial, wholesale, or primary sector?
1. Make sure you haven't bought anything or signed any contracts yet.
2. Contact the EDA and fill out the DEED Intake Form to discuss opportunities.
3. Make sure the project clearly shows that it would not come to fruition without the help of external funding sources.
4. A meeting will be scheduled with the regional DEED representative to review the form, discuss the project, and see what capital the business can bring to the project.
5. The DEED rep will present it to St. Paul for consideration
6. A final determination will be sent from DEED or the EDA on what your project qualifies for.
