Midwest Partnership Economic Development is working with Western Iowa Advantage to bring Economic Development 101 sessions to each of the region’s counties.  The sessions will provide an overview of what economic development is, the basic concepts and principles of the economic development process, how it works, and the role elected officials and community members play in the process. They should prove to be especially beneficial to County Supervisors, City Council members, Mayors, City Clerks and community development leaders.

Sessions have been scheduled in Greenfield, Audubon, and Guthrie Center, 5:30 – 6:30 pm.  The sessions are free, but RSVPs are requested, as dinner will be provided for attendees.

The session schedule is as follows:

• Tuesday, Nov. 14th, 5:30-6:30-p.m. – Hotel Greenfield (110 E. Iowa St., Greenfield).
• Wednesday, Nov. 15th, 5:30-6:30-p.m. – Audubon County Economic Development (ACED) office (800 Market St., Audubon).
• Thursday, Nov. 16th, 5:30-6:30-p.m. – Guthrie County/ISU Extension (212 State St., Guthrie Center).
