Select 2019 Business of the Year

The purpose of this case is to select the 2019 Ramsey Business of the Year, an annual selection made by the EDA. The Ramsey Business of the Year is selected from a list of 3-6 nominees (known as the "small list").  The purpose of the small list is to narrow down the voting / analysis process to a small pool of nominees for effeiciency.  The small list of candidates is derived from a "large list."   Said nominees are asked to answer a set of questions that demonstrate their exemplary standing in each of these four categories: 

• Length of tenure in the City of Ramsey
• Number of employees / job creation
• Community involvement
• Innovation and uniqueness 

Both the 'small' and 'large' lists are attached. 

N/A

Based on discussion at the March 2018 EDA meeting, three businesses were added to the small list attached. We have responses from all six nominees, each with their own areas of excellence.  The City of Ramsey is fortunate to have many great nominees for 2019 Business of the Year.
