By Sara StrongLuverne is trying to help out another city that needs an economic boost.Winsted requested some of Luverne’s Job Opportunity Building Zone acres in order to draw a business.The Rock County Board of Commissioners and the Luverne City Council approved a 10.79 JOBZ acres transfer at Tuesday meetings. The Luverne School Board will consider approval this week. Tax-collecting bodies have to give approval because JOB Zone involves tax breaks to businesses.Winsted has been working with three manufacturers to expand into the city. But without JOBZ that may not happen.LEDA Director Dan Statema said, "Personally, it seems like the right thing to do, to help out another city, especially since it doesn’t hurt us. Professionally, it looks good for us and it gets us name recognition from the state."The city heard that the state was frustrated with the lack of cooperation from other cities that had extra JOBZ acres. In correspondence to the state about the acreage transfer, the city will ask that the state consider this good-will measure in the event that Luverne needs those 10.79 acres again. The city would only need the acres if the remaining 330 acres are filled with businesses.Winsted City Administrator Brent Mareck said in a letter to Statema, "The city of Winsted appreciates your community’s own desire to foster strong economic growth in Luverne, which makes Winsted all the more grateful for your consideration of this request."Winsted, near New Ulm and Litchfield, is a town with a population of just more than 2,000.
