United States Curling Association Moving to Viking Lakes Campus |
|
The United States Curling Association (USA Curling) today announced its official move from Stevens Point, Wisconsin, to the Viking Lakes campus in Eagan, Minnesota.
“The move to the Minneapolis-St. Paul metropolitan area opens the door for exciting new opportunities and increased exposure as interest continues to grow in the sport of curling,” said Chief Executive Officer of USA Curling Jeff Plush. “Our headquarters will also now be uniquely positioned next to USA Curling’s Official Sports Medicine Provider Twin Cities Orthopedics on the Viking Lakes campus, giving us the capacity to further support our athletes.”
Housed in the Innovation Center located at the center of the Viking Lakes campus, USA Curling’s new headquarters will be adjacent to the Minnesota Vikings headquarters and training facility Twin Cities Orthopedics Performance Center. This strategic relocation offers synergies among all campus partners and stakeholders, including Training Haus, the home workout facility for many USA National Team curling athletes.

Celebrate National Small Business Week, May 2 - May 8, 2021 |
|
“Small businesses through our communities, cities, state, and country have endured a lot over this last year. They have made numerous sacrifices for their families and businesses. These businesses need us to support them," said, Maureen Scallen Failor, DCR Chamber President.
Small businesses are the life-blood of our community. More than half of Americans either own or work for a small business and they create nearly two out of every three new jobs in the U.S. each year. Small business plays such a crucial role in our economy. That is why for over 50 years the U.S. has celebrated National Small Business Week to recognize the important role small businesses play in our economy. This year, National Small Business Week takes place this week, May 2-8, 2021.
