Representatives from the City of Algona, Algona Area Economic Development Corporation, Algona Municipal Utilities, Algona Area Chamber of Commerce, Kossuth/Palo Alto County Economic Development and the Tietz Entrepreneurial Center will host the forum. Organizations will share a brief update on the past year’s activities as well as information on community economic development initiatives.

“We hosted a collaborative forum for the first time last spring and around 60 people joined us for that event,” said John Bilsten, President of the Algona Area Economic Development Corporation and General Manager of Algona Municipal Utilities. “Those who came appreciated the updates and opportunity to offer input and ask questions about initiatives that are underway. We are looking forward to continuing that conversation this year.”
