The Hormel Institute hosted Leadership Minnesota in 2008, but this year’s group will be the first to see and tour the $23.4 million expansion of the medical research facility. Institute leaders will share expansion and economic impact information. Since the institute broke ground for the expansion in 2006, over 40 new faculty and staff jobs have been added to The Hormel Institute.
Minnesota Department of Agriculture Commissioner Gene Hugoson will be one of the featured speakers at today’s event.
