Welcome!
The Hugo Business Association (HBA) exists to support local business
through mutually beneficial relationships. Established by a group of business
owners in the Hugo area, the association takes its spirit of unity and
cooperation and focuses on the business of maintaining current patrons and
attracting new customers to Hugo. Through the work of the Hugo Business
Association, customers are encouraged to shop locally and support their own
community and economy.
Community Events
The HBA shares the excitement of doing business locally through its late winter
Kids-Biz Extravaganza (held in cooperation with Hugo’s newspaper The Citizen),
through a local business trade show held during Hugo’s summer Good Neighbor Days
(in cooperation with the Lion’s Club), and through links to local businesses via
this website. The association also sponsors an annual St. Croix Riverboat ride
in late summer to give HBA members a chance to share stories and relax with one
another in a casual, non-business setting.
Business Support
The Hugo Business Association provides business owners a support system for working with other
businesses, the Hugo community at large, as well as City Hall. Hugo is a rapidly
growing community. Since its creation in 2002, the Hugo Business Association has
advocated that growth and strives to make living and working in Hugo a fun
experience for all. Members of the HBA strongly support the community by
donating to local schools and parks as part of an important heritage that makes
the community a better place to live.
