I am pleased to announce that Region Five has a new Economic Development Director, Lee Miller. Lee comes to us with economic development experience from the City of Hutchinson and community development from the City of Avon. Lee has participated in the City of Rice downtown visioning sessions and has completed several research projects. Lee graduated from St. Cloud State with a Bachelor of Arts in Community Development.
Lee grew up in rural Minnesota and has first-hand knowledge of the challenges and advantages of small rural communities. Between work and life experiences we are confident we have selected a well-rounded person.
I am excited to watch Lee meet his potential at Region Five. In addition to the regular day-to-day work, Lee has already begun to work on projects such as the Wadena County Economic Development Coordinator Feasibility Study, applications to re-capilize our Revolving Loan Fund and rewriting our Revolving Loan Plan.
There is no shortage of work to be done to assist our region’s economic development efforts and I am confident Lee will assist our team in meeting the Region Five mission.
Please contact Lee by email about your economic development needs at lmiller@regionfive.org and please help me welcome Lee to our region.
