After Sue Brandon-Cadwell and her husband relocated to Park Rapids, Minn., Sue was working at two salons and commuting out of town. With a $140,000 loan from MMCDC, an investment from her father (the late Barney Cadwell), and other resources, she opened Heartland Hair Park. In less than a year, it became home to her business, two additional cosmetologists, and a Miracle Ear hearing aid office.
Heartland Lakes Development Commission, Park Rapids, Minn., provided funding resources through its administration of the Main Street Economic Revitalization Program Grant.
Sue’s mother was a business owner who served on MMCDC’s board of directors from 1979-1985.
“My mom passed away in 2015; she would have been so proud of me!” Sue said.
