It also showed inbound commuters – the number of people who work in a community and come from outside of a community.

Empowered Worker Program Analysis Amy Baldwin, CDA Director also spoke about the Empowered Work Program Analysis that Aisling Cox, the CDA Summer Intern compiled. This report examines program costs against direct costs – what is the return on the County’s investment in the Empowered Worker Program. There are two primary revenue streams being calculated including Tax Revenue Generation and Economic Assistance Savings.

After spending 14 years in the restaurant industry, he wanted a change. With his long-term commitment to sobriety and desire to live a more comfortable life, Brandon got a job at Carr’s Tree Service and began the journey to obtain his CDL. He now has succeeded the CDL program, can drive heavy machinery for his job and has been awarded higher pay. The program helped Brandon with the cost of the CDL program, buying work attire, a laptop for studies, a copy of his birth certificate, and gas cards to get to his CDL road training and testing. He is off to a thriving start to the more comfortable life he set out for. *Brandon S., Empowered Worker 17/32 NOSEY NEIGHBORNOSEY NEIGHBORManufacturing SeriesManufacturing Series October is Manufacturing Month!

Three of the lots (parcel numbers: 76000990905000, 76000990906000, and 76000990907000) have been designated for use in the construction of workforce and affordable, single-family homes, supported by the Community Impact Fund Grant award through Minnesota Housing. The grant agreement, dated May 1, 2024, provides financial assistance to the CDA and requires that homes developed through this program remain affordable for a 15-year period. During that time, future sales must be restricted to buyers whose household income does not exceed 115% of the State Median Family Income, as determined by HUD. To ensure long-term compliance with the Affordability Restriction, staff proposes to: • Record a Declaration of Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions with the Otter Tail County Recorder’s Office; and • Reference this restriction within the deeds for each property to be conveyed. The vacant lots are not subject to a deed restriction. In accordance with Minnesota Statutes §469.105, notice of a public hearing regarding the sale of the parcels listed in Exhibit A was published and a hearing prior to the consideration of this resolution. All individuals wishing to speak on the matter were given the opportunity to do so. The attached resolution authorizes the sale and conveyance of the identified properties, affirms the terms and conditions of the sales, and formally adopts the required affordability measures. Staff recommends the Board approve the resolution.
