Community
Iowa’s communities are its backbone. From large to small, each is unique and has its own set of challenges and opportunities.
Iowa Community Development
People in Iowa communities of all sizes are actively working to transform Iowa’s future.
To assist with that transformation, the Iowa Economic Development Authority (IEDA) and Iowa Finance Authority (IFA) administer various state and federal programs designed to help community leaders reinvest in core infrastructure, recover from natural disasters when they occur and revitalize to make each community’s vision a reality.
