Provide community leaders, development organizations, economic developers, chamber executives, and business owners a framework for disaster preparation that looks beyond the immediate steps needed to address a crisis to long-lasting recovery as well as prevention efforts.
SIMPCO collaborated with the Iowa Association of Councils of Governments (ICOG), the U.S. Department of Economic Development Administration (EDA), and the consulting group Capture Management Solutions to create a regional resource for business, government, and development organizations to assist with navigating and mitigating crises. The EDA provided funding through the 2020 CARES Act.
