Welcome to Southwest
Iowa!
Southwest Iowa offers hundreds of things
to do and see and enjoy. No matter when you visit, the area offers
something for everyone. Fish the lakes that are crowded with numerous
species, bag your limit of pheasants, hike the Loess Hills, catch a rodeo at
Sidney's Championship Rodeo, drive Western Skies Scenic Byways, watch
millions of waterfowl at DeSoto National Wildlife Refuge, or find luck at
Council Bluffs' casinos.
Recent economic growth in the
region has been highlighted by new business investment, as well as the
expansion of several existing employers. Recent examples of new business
investment include Mastercraft Furniture and D'Kei Incorporated in Council
Bluffs, and Americana Companies in Shenandoah. Employers in the region who
have recently expanded include CI Direct and their new facility in Avoca,
Oakland Foods in Oakland, and Plumrose USA in Council Bluffs. Phase one of
the Manawa Commerce Center in Council Bluffs has been completed and will
provide 175,000 square feet of warehouse/distribution space to the area.
Commercial and residential construction have been strong in the area as
well.
The area is served by a regional
commercial airport, several smaller municipal airports, a multi-county
regional transit system, state-of-the-art medical care, excellent schools,
and the educational opportunities provided by Iowa Western Community College
and other institutes of higher learning.
