Engaging large employers

Asignificant part of Bloomington’s economic development strategy includes collaboration with large employers. Recently, the City hosted its inaugural CEO Summit, bringing together business and community leaders to discuss economic growth and innovation. Executives from major companies such as HealthPartners, Seagate, Toro and Mall of America attended, exchanging ideas and resources.

“The City is really here to serve us, and so the City can’t do its work, can’t meet its mission, can’t solve the issues if they don’t hear from the people who live here and the people who work here.”
