Job Growth in Grand Rapids: ASV Is Hiring for 28 Manufacturing Jobs with Benefits

ASV, like MN Diversified Industries or MDI may not be household names to you.  But both of these companies in northern MN are hiring.  And they make things that you would recognize.  Industry-leading compact track loaders and skid steers and corrugated plastic bins used by the USPS and other organizations. 

If you know of local businesses hiring during the pandemic, send us a tip!  If you have lost your job due to the pandemic, know that there is some relief for you - food assistance and unemployment and help from the State of MN. 

And, if you are able, support your neighbors and your local businesses this holiday season.  This is a time unlike any that we have faced and helping others will make you feel better as well.  Send us stories of generosity in your community.  We'd like to give them the attention they deserve!
