Garrison
Garrison is a resort village on the west shore of Mille Lacs Lake, one of Minnesota's great walleye lakes, a fishing-and-vacation community with a base of resorts, bait-and-tackle, hospitality, and recreation businesses. Its big-water fishing economy draws anglers and vacationers through every season. Media & Technology Group builds bespoke business platforms (custom software, AI automation, managed IT, and marketing) for the Garrison area's resort, fishing, hospitality, and recreation businesses, and we serve them remote-first from York County, Pennsylvania, distance is no barrier, and we add on-site time when a project warrants the trip.
Do you work with businesses in Garrison, Minnesota?
Yes, remote-first from our York County, Pennsylvania base, and being a Mille Lacs Lake resort village is no obstacle: nearly all of our work is done remotely, with on-site visits when a project warrants it. A Garrison client gets a named contact, a regular maintenance window, and direct access for urgent issues.
Does working remotely mean slower support for a Garrison business?
