At each annual meeting, SMGA recognizes the accomplishments of businesses, people, and communities from the prior year. Honored for Community Innovation was the City of Salem.
Jeremy Grady, member of the Salem Economic Development Corporation and market president at First Dakota National Bank, joins the Growing Places Podcast to unpack the keys Salem's Exponential Growth where in less than one year, after devastating losses to the community from the 2022 derecho, the Salem community rebuilt a local Economic Development Corporation, rallied together in fundraising nearly $250,000 for local economic development work, and launched an industrial park, and already has future housing plans in the works.
