The goal is to help North Dakota compete in a 21st century economy in which rapid technological advancement is changing every job, industry and organization.
North Dakota’s Main Street Initiative provides community leaders with direct access to tools and resources to capitalize on their community’s strengths and make sound planning decisions. These efforts help create vibrant communities that attract and retain the 21st-century workforce North Dakota needs to compete and succeed in a global economy.
