Iowa Economic Development Leader To Make Two Stops In Carroll County

For the past eight years, Debi Durham has been a champion of economic improvement throughout the entire state, leading the Iowa Economic Development Authority (IEDA) and now the Iowa Finance Authority. She and her team have nurtured invaluable public-private partnerships and reeled in development projects worth a billion dollars, and they are only just beginning. On Wednesday, Oct. 9, Durham will be the keynote speaker for the Carroll Area Development Corporation’s (CADC) Annual Partners Luncheon. Executive Director, Shannon Landauer, says the state recently did an exercise in New York to showcase the Iowa lifestyle, and it was an eye-opener for many.
That video can be found below. The visit by Durham is timely as new initiatives in the county and through the Carroll Chamber of Commerce are being rolled out. One of these is being developed around the different alcoholic products being produced right here.

More details and a sneak preview of Alcohology will be coming soon. Following the luncheon on Oct. 9, Durham will travel to Manning for a valve-turning ceremony, celebrating the completion of the Manning Municipal Utilities natural gas line expansion. The public is invited to attend this event as Durham will give a brief speech and refreshments will follow. A photo timeline of the project will also be displayed.

One of the three task forces formed as a portion of Gov. Kim Reynolds’ Empower Rural Iowa Initiative will meet this week in our region. Lt. Gov., Adam Gregg, will be leading the Growing Rural Iowa task force meeting at the Hausbarn Konfrenz Centre in Manning on Wednesday, Sept. 18. The group, which includes local leaders Ron Reischl of Manning and Justin Wagner of Harlan, will convene the meeting at 1:30 p.m. as they work toward their mission of encouraging leadership development and strategic development in rural communities. This is one of three task forces formed within the initiative. The Investing in Rural Iowa Task Force is focused on making recommendations for ways to improve access to quality housing in rural Iowa and the Connecting Rural Iowa Task Force explores effective and sustainable ways to finance rural connectivity. Gregg, a co-chair of Empower Rural Iowa, adds these are merely starting points for the groups and they will broaden their scope and work on other issues in the years to come. Reynolds says the initiative is meant to help create concrete solutions to the unique challenges faced in rural portions of the state and to ensure that there is opportunity in every corner of Iowa.
