This effort, in turn, helps create and maintain productive, permanent skilled employment through the region. Businesses who wish to apply for funding under this program are required to comply with Minnesota State Law and Iron Range Resources' policy regarding prevailing wage. The agency is limited by law to a maximum of 50% participation of financed eligible project costs.
