Helping Those Who Venture: Iowa's Rural Economic Development Measures

No 278340, Staff Reports from United States Department of Agriculture, Economic Research Service

Abstract: Iowa's State government has assumed a major role in rural economic development. Eighty-two rural development measures have been identified by State agency heads and State budget officers. Together, these measures encompass a quarter of the State budget. A majority of the measures are aimed at community and business development. In recent years, State and local economic development efforts have increased in response to a declining Federal effort. Given limited State resources, the result has been a neglect of communities that have not been as aggressive and consistent in seeking economic development.
