Join us for the inaugural Small(er) Communities Forum, a new event designed to highlight the unique economic development opportunities, challenges, and success stories of the smaller communities that help drive growth across the Corridor region. Stick around after the program for a networking reception to continue the conversations and make new connections with leaders and businesses across the region.
This forum is a great way for attendees to explore economic development initiatives and business opportunities; discover potential sites, incentives and partnerships; and most of all, support collaboration and regional growth throughout the Corridor.
The agenda features a CEO panel discussion, panels featuring updates from the following communities:
Anamosa
Hiawatha
Iowa County
Robins
Solon
