Local Government Officials
Our local units of government range from larger full-time staff supported entities for the larger communities to smaller communities which have very little staff support. The Dakota County Regional Chamber serves as your advocate on critical economic issues at the city, county, state, and federal levels and provides members with contact information for their local government officials.
