MinnEcon note: Brent Olson is a Big Stone County commissioner who keeps a close eye on the western Minnesota economy. In April, he shared a story of high demand in Big Stone County for a single government job.
Today, he tells us about spotting some hopeful economic signs -- remodeling dumpsters and a new grain dryer -- in his hometown of Clinton, MN.
"Out here on the prairie I haven't detected anyone singing 'Happy Days are Here Again,' he says. "But it's my opinion that things are looking up, just a little."
