What is this?
LADA can give lakes new energy
Published Friday, August 1, 2008
The economic climate in the Battle Lake and Otter Tail Lake areas could be warm and sunny because of groups like the fledging Lakes Area Development Association (LADA) which was formed by Dan Malmstrom in the Battle Lake area.
These are not easy economic times in the Lakes Region. But when a group of business owners organize in the name of diversifying the economic climate beyond tourism while preserving and enhancing the infrastructure around area lakes, that can be nothing but good news.
“It’s one thing for a community to say it has a committee working on economic development. More impressive is when a community of people rolls up its sleeves and comes up with a tactical plan for economic development,” Malmstrom told members of the Otter Tail Lakes’ Property Owners Association last week.
We couldn’t agree more.
With a strong vision in place, LADA has an opportunity to guide people and economic development activities for the next several years in Battle Lake and the surrounding area.
Here’s wishing the organization and the Lakes Area the greatest of success.

The Daily Journal is happy to host community conversations about news and life in Fergus Falls and the surrounding area. As hosts, we expect guests will show respect for each other. That means we don't threaten or defame each other, and we keep conversations free of personal attacks. Witty is great. Abusive is not. If you think a post violates these standards, don't escalate the situation. Instead, flag the comment to alert us. We'll take action if necessary. It's not hard. This should be a place where people want to read and contribute -- a place for spirited exchanges of opinion. So those who persist with racist, defamatory or abusive postings risk losing the privilege to post at all.Post a comment
