About the region
The University of Minnesota Central Regional Sustainable Development Partnership facilitates citizen-driven ideas for the economic, social and environmental sustainability of the region through partnering, coordinating, funding, and leveraging resources of the University of Minnesota and others.
The Central Minnesota Sustainable Development Partnership was among the first Partnerships established in 1998 to serve citizens in an eight-county area of Central Minnesota including Becker, Otter Tail, Hubbard, Cass, Wadena, Morrison, Crow Wing and Todd counties. Ecologically, this region consists of the Pine Moraine and Outwash Plains.
