    LITTLE FALLS, MN, October 06, 2011 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Community Development is moving forward with the GateKeeper (http://www.goldenshovelagency.com/gatekeeper-sm) social media strategy by Golden Shovel Agency. With the adoption of the GateKeeper service, Community Development of Morrison County will be able to more effectively reach the businesses and entrepreneurs looking to expand in the Little Falls, MN area.

According to Ron Kresha, President of Golden Shovel Agency, the strategy will impact the quality of information available to businesses seeking the economic development services from the Community Development of Morrison County:

"We have heard from the most prestigious site selectors in the country and the message is clear. If your community is not active online with social media and a strong website, you simply won't get considered."

GateKeeper is considered the most robust social media service by economic developers across the country. The Golden Shovel team will conduct a survey of the economic development board and director Carol Anderson. From this survey a 12 month strategic plan is generated to align the online economic development efforts and set up success metrics. From this plan, a weekly implementation schedule is generated to ensure results.

GOLDEN SHOVEL AGENCY is a Minnesota-based Web development firm specializing in online tools for economic and community development. The Economic Gateway Web system includes an expandable and on-demand content management system (CMS) and a robust social media implementation strategy.
