Valley City-Barnes County Development Corporation Case Study
Through a partnership with Pollen Midwest, we created a case study to learn how the Valley City-Barnes County Development Corporation is finding creative ways to help the mostly rural region stay competitive with larger cities.
Excerpt from The Case Study
Valley City-Barnes County Development Corporation (VCBC) works to enhance the lives of both current and future residents of its region — creating jobs, elevating quality of life and putting people first, all so communities can flourish.
people come first
VCBC listens deeply to its community — business owners, workers and students alike — before taking action. Whether it’s learning from organized feedback sessions or from paying close attention to its networks, VCBC builds and cultivates meaningful relationships that guide its priorities.
economic work is community work
VCBC rises to the challenge of finding creative ways to provide value to its community — embracing new ideas, making sure it addresses the needs of its neighbors and working with community to bring those ideas to life.
