Business Spotlight

In an effort to support businesses during the Highway 169 and County Road 4 Improvements construction, we are excited to announce that the project team is hosting a business spotlight social media campaign! This initiative aims to highlight local businesses on the City of Zimmerman’s social media accounts, helping to keep your business visible during construction.

A social media graphic template is below as well as two example posts from the Highway 10 construction project in Ramsey. If you would like your business to be featured, please email the following information to the project team at [email protected].

1. Your business logo
2. One image you’d like included in the post (landscape or square sizing preferred)
3. A short message or description you’d like us to include. This is a great opportunity to promote any upcoming events, specials or deals.

We will accept submissions through September 2026. The order of postings will be determined by submission date, with priority given to businesses located within or directly adjacent to the project area. You are welcome to send in multiple submissions throughout the year to highlight different aspects of your business. We will do our best to accommodate.

To participate, or if you have any questions about participating, please email the project team at [email protected].

Thank you for your partnership; we look forward to showcasing your business!

This is what the post will look like. Send in your photo and logo, and we will create the graphic.

Business Liaison

Throughout construction Greg Weber, the project’s business liaison, will serve as the main point of contact for any construction concerns or questions. He will provide you with advanced notice of any impacts to your business and work with you to minimize them as much as possible. He will also work with the team to provide you with information and materials such as access maps, social media content, or other content that helps communicate construction-related information to your employees, suppliers and customers.

Please contact him with any questions, concerns or material requests at
(763) 248-1697 or [email protected].
