Message
from the Tribal Chairman
"I
would like to take this opportunity to invite you to do business
with the Turtle Mountain Chippewa Tribe. As one of 40 HUD
Renewal Communities throughout the nation, and the only one in a six
state region, businesses are eligible to share in an estimated
$17-billion in tax incentives to stimulate business and economic
development. In addition, businesses on the reservation are
eligible to share in $12 million of commercial revitalization
deductions"
"We
are a progressive people located in north-central North Dakota with
a strong desire to partner with outside entrepreneurs to achieve
economic development and job creation. Please feel free to
call me and schedule an appointment for further discussion."

The
RC Initiative offers residents and businesses the opportunities and resources to overcome seemingly insurmountable problems. What have been vacant lots or abandoned buildings have been turning into new business complexes and affordable housing. Employment opportunities for residents have expanded and support services including childcare, education and healthcare have been strengthened, thus enabling residents of our nation's poorest communities to participate more fully in the workforce.
In
February of 2002, the Turtle Mountain Band of Chippewa
was designated a "Renewal Community" by the US
Department of Housing and Urban Development. The
purpose of the designation is to help stimulate economic
and community development on the Turtle Mountain
Chippewa Indian Reservation.
