In 2002, to enhance the economic development focus and assist in developing local startup business and industry, the Albert Lea Business Development Center (ALBDC) was created. Rather than start anew, the business development center concept is a return to a part of the original Albert Lea Plan. It is a return to using our local resources to expand and create new business and industry in Albert Lea and Freeborn County.
The ALBDC (Albert Lea Business Development Center) is a business incubator, one of the few in Minnesota which offer the entrepreneur a quality space, free business services and professional links to start-up businesses.
