Event NameInnovation Leads to Local Economic Development Success
Description

Economic development often requires a variety of partners to achieve a community’s desired outcomes, but successful programs do not always follow the same path. This session will be facilitated by Jim Thompson of the IEDA (and former Charles City city council member) as he is joined by Aaron Burnett, city administrator in Mason City, and Matt Brooke, city administrator in Clinton, for a discussion on how each city was able to implement innovative strategies to boost local economic development projects.
