Title:

Selection of the 2012 Ramsey Business of the Year

Background:

Annually, the EDA is charged with selecting the City of Ramsey Business of the Year.  The purpose of this case is to select the 2012 Ramsey Business of the Year.

Observations:

By ranking a list of 15 initial Business of the Year nominees, the EDA selected four finalists: Acapulco, Bolton & Menk, The Links at Northfork and Vision Ease Lens.  Each of the four finalists were asked the following four questions:

1. When did you become a physically established business in Ramsey?
2. What is your estimated number of employees/FTE (2012)?
3. How does your business positively affect the community, besides job creation (i.e. community involvement, donations, sponsorships, memberships, etc.)?
4. What is unique about your business, what is noteworthy or what makes your business different than your competitors (i.e. innovative product/building, significant job retention/creation, overcoming a significant obstacle, etc.)?

Attached to this case are the responses from all four businesses.
