Abstract: This report explores how the state of Minnesotathe governors administration together with the Minnesota Legislaturecan partner with regional networks to foster economic growth and extend prosperity to greater numbers of Minnesotans. The trends and recommendations in this report emerged from a multiyear collaboration with the Minnesota Department of Employment and Economic Development (DEED) and regional partners throughout the state. The report sets out a comprehensive and nuanced picture of the challenges and opportunities confronting Minnesotas regionsfrom the greater Minneapolis-St. Paul metro to the regions in Greater Minnesota that anchor the states health care, manufacturing, and agricultural assets. It highlights new approaches the state of Minnesota can deploy to empower leaders and institutions in these regions to develop and execute solutions tailored to their communities. As regions are the building blocks of the state economy and the locus of opportunity for workers and families, the state of Minnesota must embrace an asset-based, regional approach to growth and opportunity if it is to nimbly adapt and prosper going forward.
