relationships with businesses that want to move here,” Mayor Bengtson says.“We’ve had much interest from Twin Cities metro area companies, and we’re working to make Eden Valley an attractive option for them.” The town’s strategic location and fiber optic internet service make it an ideal spot for businesses looking to expand. “We have two internet service providers, and one offers fiber optic,” Mayor Bengtson notes. “That’s been a game-changer for us, especially during the pandemic when people started working from home. Businesses here can take advantage of e-commerce and other modern business techniques.” SMALL TOWN, BIG AMBITIONS Eden Valley may be a small town, but its ambitions are anything but modest.
