Project Overview

Edina is a prestigious first-ring city adjacent to downtown Minneapolis. The Edina Chamber of Commerce contracted Future iQ to perform in-depth economic research and targeted stakeholder engagement to provide the requisite data to develop a new economic development strategy for the Chamber to use as it supports the business community in the city. Results from this research will produce a complete economic profile and industry cluster analysis of Edina, a business and industry retention and expansion strategy, and a recommended economic development strategy and implementation plan. The stakeholder engagement will involve a planning process that links local aspirations for the future and which together with the data-driven research will create the foundation of support for an economic development strategy that will guide the Edina Chamber of Commerce over the next ten years.
