The Pella Area Development Corporation provided their quarterly update to the city council this week, which featured a review of 2014.
Director of PADCO Karen Eischen says the goal of the organization is to ensure the continued growth of industry in and around the Pella area into the future. She says last year they had a focus on finding land for expansion of existing industries or attracting new ones, an area she says needs improvement in the years to come. Eischen adds that many ongoing projects, such as a connector route from Pella to I-80 and discussions of a regional airport, will continue to receive their attention in 2015.
