Lanesboro
Lanesboro is the tourism heart of the driftless Root River Valley — a National Register river town that bills itself as the "Bed & Breakfast Capital of Minnesota," home to the Commonweal Theatre, the Root River State Trail hub, art galleries, restaurants, inns, and outfitters drawing visitors and cyclists all season. Its arts-and-tourism economy runs on hospitality, lodging, dining, retail, recreation, and the trades and service businesses that support them. Media & Technology Group builds bespoke business platforms — custom software, AI automation, managed IT, and marketing — for the Lanesboro area's lodging, dining, arts, recreation, retail, and service 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.
