Productive Alternatives Celebrates 50 Years of Serving Otter Tail County!

For the past 50 years, Productive Alternatives has proven that people with disabilities are a valuable part of the economic workforce.

Productive Alternatives has grown and evolved from a farming operation for the former State Hospital in Fergus Falls to currently providing services to companies throughout the region. In addition to the production factory, Productive Alternatives also manages the Otter Express public transportation buses, the detox program and a new mental health crisis unit.

Seven Productive Alternative sites will gather on October 10, 2009 for a 50th anniversary gala and fundraiser. They will also host a consumer recognition banquet on October 27, 2009 from 6 to 8 p.m. in Alexandria.
