State of Iowa Long-Term Economic Recovery Strategy

The "State of Iowa Long-Term Economic Recovery Strategy" was prepared for the Economic Development Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce. In July, 2008 Iowa received a $3 million grant from the Economic Development Administration to create an Economic Recovery Strategy for recovering from the devastating floods and tornadoes that impacted the state earlier that summer. This report outlines the final version of that strategy. It includes the methods, goals, objectives, measures and key projects that the state has undertaken and will continue into the future to ensure the state‘s complete recovery.
