Mission
Winona County Economic Development Authority (EDA) Mission Statement is to build a strong, diversified and sustainable economy as means to improve the quality of life of County residents.

Economic Development Authority (EDA) Revolving Loan Fund
The Winona County Revolving Loan Fund (RLF) was capitalized by a Grant from the State of Minnesota Department of Employment and Economic Development Minnesota Investment Fund in 2007. The grant provided low-interest loans for businesses recovering from the floods of 2007 and repayments are available for loans to businesses throughout Winona County.
All Winona County RLF applications are to be submitted through an online permitting system. Apply for the program at https://link.edgepilot.com/s/178cc691/LQgQf1vphk_reLwCK5DSLg?u=https://winonacountymn.viewpointcloud.com/
