I've loaded a copy of the new Quarterly Business Report (published in ROI Central Minnesota and discussed in yesterday's St. Cloud Times) onto my university page. It should be up at the site of the St. Cloud Area Partnership, one of our gracious and generous sponsors, with the archive in a few days.

The Times ran a separate feature on our speculations about Electrolux. I agree with most of the commenters -- while they haven't said for sure what's happening and I don't know anything more than what I read in the company's financials, I'd be surprised to find Electrolux still in business here next summer. I just did a radio interview with WJON in the last two hours which covered the question.
