Maple Grove Business Association

Maple Grove Business Association Official Announcement

Dear Valued Members, Community Partners and the Maple Grove Community,

It is with deep regret that we share the Maple Grove Business Association will dissolve effective Friday, December 12, 2025.

Founded in 2001 as the Arbor Lakes Business Association and expanded citywide in 2021 as the Maple Grove Business Association, it has been our honor to serve Maple Grove’s businesses and community. Together, we built a strong network of support, collaboration, and growth. Unfortunately, due to insufficient financial resources and support, we are unable to continue operations.

It has been our honor to serve the community not only through our ongoing work, but also by hosting Chalkfest Maple Grove for the past decade. Celebrating its 10th Anniversary last year was a milestone we deeply cherished. With MGBA’s closure, Chalkfest Maple Grove will conclude under our organization, and we will no longer be involved in its future. We are profoundly grateful to the artists, sponsors, volunteers, and community members who helped make Chalkfest a lasting legacy.

We want to express our deepest gratitude for your trust and partnership over these many years. While this decision is a difficult one, we are incredibly proud of the work we've accomplished together.

Businesses looking for ongoing support and networking opportunities can find business guidance information at the City of Maple Grove’s Business Resources Page.

Thank you once again for allowing us to be part of this wonderful community. We wish all our members continued success in the future.

— Kira L. Johnson, Executive Director, and the Board of Directors of the Maple Grove Business Association
