<br /> <br />Elk River EDA Strategic Plan | 16 <br /> <br /> <br />Elk River offers a rich cluster of strategic advantages that are and will <br />remain attractive to a wide range of businesses. These include its central <br />location at a transportation crossroads, its reliable utility infrastructure, its <br />tradition of manufacturing, its high design standards for new development, <br />and the workforce development linkages that it promotes with local <br />businesses.
