The Pella Area Development Corporation, or PADCO , is looking for help from area residents.

Director of PADCO Karen Eischen says there are two surveys out for Pella area residents to help with gathering data. The first was sent via mail by Central College faculty, and is about ways that Pella can remain a vibrant and growing community. The second, which many may receive from their employer, is to see how connected the workforce is with Pella and the area. That survey is a collaboration between the Greater Des Moines Partnership and Character Counts.
