The Mid-Minnesota Development Commission will hold a public hearing on Wednesday, June 18, 2025, beginning at 7:00 pm, at the Hector Community Center, located at 130 Main Street South, Hector, MN 55342.

The purpose of this public hearing is to officially adopt the Fiscal Year 2026 budget (July 1, 2025, through June 30, 2026) and to consider any increase in the levy of MMDC’s ad valorem tax, within limitations set by state statute (limited to a 3.0% increase) and which would not be received in full or used until the Fiscal Year 2027 budget is effective.

The Mid-Minnesota Development Commission will be convened from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m. This public meeting will be recessed at or just before 7:00 p.m., to accommodate the aforementioned public hearing. The meeting will then be reconvened after the conclusion of that public hearing. The Commission meeting will include regular commission business, MMDC program updates, and any consideration of applications to MMDC’s revolving loan program, if those applications meet the threshold for review from MMDC’s full Commission.
