About The Partnership

Initiatives

 

The Greater Des Moines Partnership is the regional economic and community development entity serving Central Iowa. Supported by over 290 public and private investors, the Partnership now serves eight counties (Dallas, Guthrie, Jasper, Madison, Marshall, Polk, Poweshiek, and Warren) through economic development, workforce development and education, downtown development, and regional business development. With our regional Affiliate Chambers of Commerce and more than 4,700 business members, the Partnership is devoted to making the Greater Des Moines area a better place to build a business, a career, and a future. Here is a list of our initiatives to make Central Iowa best in class, through one voice, one mission, and as one region.
