County government selected the Golden Shovel Agency, based in Little Falls, Minn., to create the web site.

“This national economic development communications firm is recognized for their award-winning design and expertise in business and workforce attraction,” the county said.

“The staff at Montgomery County were ambitious about putting together a best practices resource to expand and grow business; they accomplished that goal,” Aaron Brossoit, Golden Shovel chief executive, said in the county’s announcement on the web site.
