Our Iowa County Area Economic Development Corp. has been a completely new kind of startup for me.
This report documents some of the positive outcomes from our first 4 1/2 years of hard work.
The organization is a 501(c)6 nonprofit corporation. I joined as its founding Director.
Our economic development plan focused on three primary outcomes: (1) Help existing businesses, (2) Help create new businesses and new entrepreneurs, and (3) Promote Iowa County entrepreneurship and business climate.
I'm very proud of our results.
This report features a collection of 22 local small business success stories. Food entrepreneurship figures prominently in more than half of these.
The others focus on a wide cross-section of leading manufacturers, bankers, nonprofits, entrepreneurs, educators, small business owners, new businesses, local officials, and organizations from around the region and country.
From the link below you can quickly scan contents, read a 1 page summary, and also read the full report.
Thanks to all involved. What a wonderful place. What a startup!
