For five years the Partnership has focused relentlessly on regional economic development, community development
and downtown development. In the process of achieving unprecedented success, we’ve shifted local and national
perceptions of Iowa, Greater Des Moines and the whole idea of marketing intangibles like “quality of life.”
And we’ve had a positive, measurable impact on the community as a whole. On a daily basis, the Partnership focuses on economic and community development. Through economic development, we work in a regionally cohesive way to recruit and assist new and expanding businesses and to ensure there is a talented and educated workforce from which those firms can draw their human resources. Through community development, we contribute directly to the good health and vitality of our members’ businesses and the improvement of quality of life for the entire region. Embedded within each of these areas is a strong emphasis on building and sustaining a vibrant downtown core through development, events, environment and promotion.
