Scandia Economic Development Authority

The Scandia Economic Development Authority (EDA) is a public body of the City of Scandia, Minnesota, that works to retain and grow existing businesses, recruit new businesses, and expand housing options for residents. Originally formed in 2013, it was disbanded as a standalone board in 2023 and reconstituted as its own commission in 2025, with appointed commissioners plus the mayor and a council member representing the City Council; the City Administrator serves as its executive director. The EDA meets monthly at the Scandia Community Center.
