Thank you to our 2022  Business Champions!

Business leaders know how important it is for their employees to experience the best a community has to offer. HCI is dedicated to making the Rice County area – including Faribault, Northfield, and our surrounding rural communities –  a place where current and future employees want to live, work, and raise their families. Thank you to our 2022 Business Champions for your financial support!
