MetroMSP.org Earned Three Awards in 2009
MetroMSP.org earned its third economic development award of 2009 when the Mid-America Economic Development Council named it the third best large-city website in the 10-state region. The award was presented at MAEDC's annual Mid-America Competitiveness Conference last December in Chicago.
 
MAEDC's award follows recognition from both state and international economic development agencies. Last June, the Economic Development Association of Minnesota gave Metro MSP the state's top marketing award. In October, the International Economic Development Council honored Metro MSP with an "excellence in economic development" award for special purpose websites.
