"Small Towns Looking Towards the Future" Conference
Posted 17 August 2008
Iowa's small towns face issues and
possibilities as they plan for the future. Community leaders have a
chance to find out how their peers are handling such challenges at the
Northeast Iowa Community Development Conference on Sept. 3.
The conference, "Small Towns Looking Toward the Future", is geared
toward small town leaders, volunteers, local elected officials, local
development groups, Chambers of Commerce, community betterment groups
and similar entities. It will be held Wednesday, Sept. 3, from 8:30
a.m. to 3:45 p.m. at the Heartland Acres Agribition Center in
Independence.
The conference programs are related to what's happening in small towns
across Iowa. Highlights of the conference are expected to include how
some city officials are working to reduce carbon emissions and save on
their city's operating costs. The Iowa Department of Economic
Development will offer tips on how communities can "go green". And
Entrepreneur Jason Trout will discuss how technology and the Internet
make it possible to choose Iowa as a rural location to grow a business
and create quality of life.
Other topics to be covered during the conference include supporting
start-ups as well as existing businesses, dealing with a changing
workforce, developing agri-tourism and providing affordable
energy-efficient housing.
