Established in 1971, HRDC serves five counties in north central Minnesota, empowering communities and the region as a whole to achieve success. Unlike traditional agencies, HRDC's funding is not solely reliant on government sources. Instead, they generate income through contracts, services, and subsidiary corporations, allowing them to maintain a strong focus on customer satisfaction and deliver impactful results. This entrepreneurial approach sets HRDC apart from other regional development organizations.[/description][ps]Economic development, community development, housing resources, transportation, health, and public safety.[/ps]
