The Iowa Economic Development Authority will be holding a downtown forum in Panora tomorrow.

Midwest Partnership Director Brenda Dudley says that this is one of four forums that the group is holding, and that it is free to attend for those who wish to do so. She tells Raccoon Valley Radio what the forum will be about.

“Iowa Economic Development Authority is putting it on with (their) Iowa Downtown Resource Center team, and they will reveal 10 must-do things to drive vibrant commercial districts. So they’re going to have people that you can learn real success stories from across Iowa and get some hands-on experience during that time.”

Dudley mentions that of the 10 focus segments, five will be covered in the morning, with the other five covered in the afternoon. She adds that the event should be great for networking, and will be held from 9:30am to 4pm.
