We have a vision for Bemidji.  We know our city is progressive in the ability to foster innovation and investment with a simple and open approach that allows for growth and change.  Similar in mission to the Rail River Folk School, we created a separate parent company, Local 303 Co., to manage the Warehouse.  We opened it up to other entrepreneurs and local professionals who support partnership and sustainability.

The Warehouse

Managed by Local 303 Co., the Warehouse provides a centralized space for the local producer/organizer to develop, plan, create, and promote their durable goods and services through both the non-profit and for-profit sectors.

The Marina

Located on Lake Irvine, drive in through the private gate to reach your boat slip.  Shaded parking, picnic area, and a large level space are available for special events, reception tents, and lawn games.  Visit Bemidjimarina.com

The Garages

Home to Shifting Gears and our Contractor Services expert. The garages are a separate building with concrete flooring, high ceilings, and plenty of room for a niche trade or craft.

Established in 1990 within the United States, IEN was formed by grassroots Indigenous peoples and individuals to address environmental and economic justice issues (EJ). IEN’s activities include building the capacity of Indigenous communities and tribal governments to develop mechanisms to protect our sacred sites, land, water, air, natural resources, health of both our people and all living things, and to build economically sustainable communities. IEN accomplishes this by maintaining an informational clearinghouse, organizing campaigns, direct actions and public awareness, building the capacity of community and tribes to address EJ issues, development of initiatives to impact policy, and building alliances among Indigenous communities, tribes, inter-tribal and Indigenous organizations, people-of-color/ethnic organizations, faith-based and women groups, youth, labor, environmental organizations and others. IEN convenes local, regional and national meetings on environmental and economic justice issues, and provides support, resources and referral to Indigenous communities and youth throughout primarily North America – and in recent years – globally.
