Chair's Message

Terry Zeltinger, Chair, Minot Chamber of CommerceWouldn’t it be nice to live and raise a family in a wholesome place that is safe, with fresh air, low crime and caring, friendly people?  How about a growing community that also offers a great business climate, four distinct seasons, excellent public and private schools, a very progressive University, affordable housing, fine churches, abundant recreational opportunities, tourism and the diversity and economic impact offered by an Air Force Base nearby?  It would also be nice to live in a thriving arts community that has a full symphony orchestra, opera company, ballet theatre company and university summer theatre.  This “Great American Dream” environment is in the Minot area.

Even though the U.S. is in a recession, the Minot area economy is strong and diversified.  It’s fueled by agriculture, several types of energy development, many new houses and business buildings are being constructed and we have an impressive array of retail and hospitality businesses.  Minot Air Force Base is standing up a new squadron and has an annual economic impact of $382,800,000 on the Minot area.  Minot State University has an annual economic impact of $135,000,000. 

I especially appreciate our Canadian visitors and Canadian residents.  I have been a Saskatchewan Roughrider fan for many years, have a son-in-law from Saskatchewan, and we get together one day per week during the CFL season with many Canadian friends and Canadian visitors to watch and cheer on the Riders.

I am proud and honored to be your Chamber Chair this year.  Your Chamber is closely involved in energy issues, base retention, infrastructure, business retention, expansion and recruitment.  We appreciate your membership and encourage your participation.  The future for this area is very bright and we thank those citizens who have done the hard work in the past to get us to this point in time. 

“The future ain’t what it used to be.”  Yogi Berra
