Powered By Nature - Elk River Minnesota

By
Real Estate Broker/Owner with Don Sabinske, Sabinske & Associates Inc. 539MN

Here in Elk River, sometimes things get a little slower than in some of the other northern suburbs.  But, recently Elk River has been on the map in some great ways. 

The races held recently were a huge success, and I will talk more about those later.

A blog has been created (www.poweredbynature.blog.com) and a website is under development (www.poweredbynature.com). Additionally, two videos are on YouTube that feature local residents and business owners talking about the brand. One video is called “Elk River is Powered by Nature” and the other is called “Doing Business in Elk River.”

More than 30 businesses and organizations are using the brand in some way, shape or form in their marketing materials, Wilfahrt said. The community employs the brand in a variety of ways including on billboards, pamphlets, packaging, websites, emails, promotional materials, clings and more.

This is a great start, and the housing demand is starting to exceed supply.  And, we love that, too.

 

When you want to buy in Elk River or anywhere in Sherburne, Wright or Anoka Counties, give me a call!

Don, it was great watching the video and seeing the folks in the community speak about how Elk River is powered by sustainable and renewable resources.

This is great.  And, I really like the fact that they are emphasizing the "green" aspect.

Wow that is pretty neat.  You guys must have some really great water resources to draw from.  It's too bad that harnessing this type of power is still in its infancy and expensive.  Green costs a ton of green.

It's good to clean house once in a while.  Geeting rid of the old, make room for the new. :)

I think it's great that your community is taking the steps to be green. BTW...I finally posted that localism post you've been waiting for. Look for yet another one this weekend. I'm on a roll.
