The Cooperstown/Griggs Economic Development Corporation is aggressive in providing assistance to expand and diversify our local businesses. In addition, with the perks available through the Empowerment Zone and very active community and state support, we are also able to provide unmatched assistance to companies looking to expand or relocate to our community. If you are serious about expanding or relocating your business -- and quality of life, a highly educated and motivated workforce, and unmatchable funding opportunities are important, you need to check us out. For example, I know you won't find a $3000/employee wage tax credit that comes right off your income tax, anywhere else. And that is just one of the perks allowed us by the Zone designation. Give our economic development director a call at (701-797-3712), or check out the information available HERE on this site. A Snapshot of: “The Way It Is” Would you Like – · To be part of a community where the kids K-12; safely walk to school, have a chance to participate in “all” extracurricular activities, and virtually all graduate - from a brand new facility. (A multi-million dollar investment in our kid’s futures.) · To live within 90 minutes of any cultural, entertainment, or shopping opportunities a larger city provides. (Always listed toward the top of all the "best places to live lists") · To live and work amongst highly educated, motivated, and friendly people. · To rent business space for $4./sq. ft./ year. · To expand to where $60,000 buys a square half-mile of real estate, versus a lot. · To be able to set your laptop on the hood of your car, anywhere in a 1400 sq. mile area, and surf the web at over 2Mg/sec. (Wireless and hardwire connectivity available, with 15 unused fibers in place for almost unlimited expansion.) · Etc. This page could get quite long. If you have made it to this point, let me assure you the lifestyle, community attitude, and business opportunities are real. For more information on the business side, I would urge you to Click Here.
