CITY OF ARLINGTON 204 Shamrock Dr. Arlington MN 55307 RURAL ROOTS BUSINESS RETENTION & EXPANSION PROGRAM Page 1 of 5 Arlington Rural Roots Business Retention & Expansion (BRE) Program Program Overview Arlington Rural Roots Business Retention & Expansion (BRE) Program The Arlington Economic Development Authority (EDA) Business Retention & Expansion (BRE) program is tailored for our small rural community. It focuses on keeping and growing existing businesses, which is the source of roughly 80% of new jobs and investment in most rural economies by building relationships, solving problems early, and turning local strengths, such as lower operating costs, tight-knit community support, and quality of life, into competitive advantages. The program is practical, volunteer-assisted where possible, and leverages free or low-cost resources such as state extension services, Small Business Development Centers (SBDCs), USDA Rural Development programs, and local partners. The program positions the Arlington community as a place where businesses feel heard, supported, and invested in, turning retention into genuine growth. Program Goals - Retain 90%+ of existing businesses annually. - Support expansions that create or preserve local jobs and tax base. - Identify and address barriers (workforce, financing, infrastructure, succession) before they cause closures or relocations. - Foster a business-friendly climate through ongoing dialogue and quick wins. - Strengthen c …
