Mission Statement:

"The Renville County HRA/EDA coordinates and administers housing & redevelopment programs, and expands & enhances economic development opportunities in Renville County."

Renville County's rich prairie land has grown not only the seeds of corn, beans, sugar beets, and specialty crops, but also the seeds of entrepreneurship, small businesses and strong communities.  The Renville County HRA/EDA works to keep the county strong by fostering business growth and development, promoting tourism and recreation, and providing housing opportunities for county residents.  The Renville County HRA/EDA is located in the lower level of the Historic Renville County Courthouse in Olivia, MN.
