The Humboldt Chamber of Commerce Executive Director stated that economy in Humboldt is on the upside this year.

Stacy Poss, Executive Director with the Chamber of Commerce stated the reason the economy is in such a great spot is mainly that Humboldt's manufacturers are growing. Specifically in agriculture and in the potash corporation.

"I think it goes hand in hand, right now we know potash is in the slump but guaranteed it will come back. The ag industry is really moving forward," said Poss.

New businesses have been making their way into the city as well. Especially, after the new upgrades to the mall in Humboldt. Which will open new jobs for the community to look into. Poss believes that the new stores will make the economy better in its own way. 

"Again it's the business community that's making it happen, and I think from outside perspective businesses are looking at Humboldt because they see the growth, they see the strength, and they see the opportunity."
