Marketplace of Ideas

Marketplace seeks to empower individuals and communities to pursue their individual economic development visions by providing information, ideas, and assistance. The process of people sharing information and ideas, once set in motion, now continues throughout the year in several different forms. MARKETPLACE OF IDEAS IS MORE THAN A SINGLE DAY: Marketplace has developed into a statewide institution connecting people who are looking for and using new ideas for growth in our rural economy. These ideas are presented and discussed at different times and events throughout the year.
