"Our relationship with the PCEDC has been measurably beneficial to C-Aire. They have introduced us to lending, the Regional Business Fund, options for a manufacturing facility in the county, helped with staffing needs and sources for on the job training funding. All of this contributed to the company’s ability to swing from losses to profits, improve the quality of the company’s staff, and increase C-Aire’s employee’s compensation. We will continue to benefit from our relationship with the PEDC as long as we are in business in this county."

The Polk County EDC has done an outstanding job connecting with area businesses and addressing their needs. The EDC has proactively partnered to advocate for business in Dresser and has played a vital role connecting Polk County municipalities to address housing needs for area employees. On behalf of the Village of Dresser, I am thrilled to support the Polk County Economic Development Corporation.

"I want to extend my appreciation to the PCEDC for the work that has been done to attract new business to Polk County and help existing businesses. The work you have done in facilitating meetings with the state has been very helpful in moving new business to the county. Further, I know our existing industry base appreciates the help you are able to give them in expanding their existing businesses."
Mark Erickson
Regional President - MidWest One Bank
“As the owner of two Polk County businesses, I'm excited about my ongoing relationship with the PCEDC. They have been a vital resource in our efforts to bridge the gap between area manufacturing and the secondary and post-secondary educators. They're working hard to keep our manufacturing talent local by educating students about the benefits of working in our industry. They've also informed me about tax credit & grant opportunities - showing me avenues for funding that I didn't know existed. The PCEDC is an indispensable part of our local communities."
