The photo above was snapped at our most recent stop on our Meet & Greet tour of Eden Prairie businesses. This stop was at General Casualty Insurance. They are located in the beautiful 10400 Building on Viking Drive, which is a frontage road on the north side of 494. General Casualty is not only located there, but they are the anchor tenant for the building. General Casualty is an insurance company. This is the regional headquarters for the company for the Northern Plains region. They employee over 200 people in Eden Prairie. They specialize in commercial and personal lines that are sold through independent agents. It’s a well known company.
We had a nice visit with Mr. Clarke. He is happy to be located in Eden Prairie. He talked to us about the importance of their location as a recruiting tool for skilled employees who like to work in Eden Prairie, but live everywhere from Farmington to Becker. General Casualty wants to get more involved in the community and offered to help sponsor a community event in the future, such as a joint-educational event for National Fire Prevention week in October. We could always use a sponsor and it has a good tie to his company. Good idea.
