    ST. CLOUD, MN, January 09, 2025 /24-7PressRelease/ -- The City of St. Cloud is proud to announce the launch of its newly redesigned economic development website, DevelopStCloud.com.

"Our goal was to create a streamlined platform that positions St. Cloud as the economic heart of Central Minnesota," said Cathy Mehelich, Economic Development Director at the City of St. Cloud. "This website invites businesses to develop, expand, and thrive in a welcoming community with urban perks, a vibrant college-town atmosphere, and a strategic location along the Interstate 94 corridor and Mississippi River."

The new platform provides a foundation to tell St. Cloud's story to potential investors and businesses, emphasizing the city's ability to attract and support growth. By inviting visitors to #developstcloud, the website highlights the opportunities for innovation and success within the community.
