Meet the KCED Joint Powers Board
In 2003, the State of Minnesota created legislation permitting the City of Willmar and Kandiyohi County to create the Kandiyohi County and City of Willmar Economic Development Commission. The organization is governed by a Joint Powers Board comprised of six members, representing the city and the county. The Board meets the fourth Thursday Jan., Feb. Apr., Jun., Aug., Oct., Dec.,
Our mission, to be the catalyst of economic growth for all of Kandiyohi County, ultimately defines the scope of our work.
