Centrally located on Interstate 80, mid-way between Des Moines and Iowa City, Poweshiek County boasts a vibrant economy enhanced by its strong base of existing businesses, its wealth of educational opportunities, and many cultural and recreational diversions.

With a population of 19,000, Poweshiek County residents enjoy a small-town quality of life. Its communities range in size from Grinnell-the home of nationally-renowned Grinnell College-with a population of 9,000, to several towns with fewer than 100 residents. There are also two residential lakes in the county that feature waterfront homes and numerous recreational opportunities. Yet, residents have easy access to Iowa's major urban centers. Poweshiek County is an hour's drive or less from Ames, Des Moines, Cedar Rapids, Iowa City and Waterloo.

Poweshiek County is the perfect place to live, work and play. And it's the perfect location for any business seeking a central location, a skilled, motivated workforce, and an opportunity to grow.
