Become an Investor

Serving our Investors

In 1984, the Iowa City Development Corporation held its first meetings to unify the local business community, the City of Iowa City, and the University of Iowa in a common mission to establish a strategy for recruiting business to the area.

Now, over 25 years later, the Iowa City Area Development Group serves its investors by using those guiding principles to expand business recruitment efforts, grow and retain existing business, enhance workforce business services, support entrepreneurial development and create collaborative partnerships throughout the region.

Vision 2030

Our strategic planning session in 2012 produced a pioneering course of action to guide ICAD Group through its third decade of economic development.  We have a bold new game plan and strategy to help drive our economy.

According to a recent analysis by Chmura Economics and Analytics, each dollar invested in ICAD Group during our past campaign returned $69 in payroll dollars annually.  This directly supports local business, our community, and is contributing to state and local tax revenue.
