The Siouxland Interstate Metropolitan Planning Council (SIMPCO) and the Siouxland Economic Development Corporation (SEDC) invite the submission of proposals from experienced and qualified consultants to complete a Community Financing Gap Study. COVID-19 has resulted in widespread unemployment and business closures, and no population groups have been impacted economically more severely than the traditionally underserved populations of low-income and immigrants. SEDC and SIMPCO seeks to identify needs in underserved areas, gauge demand for specific products, services, or projects that would address those needs, and explore economic opportunities that can create jobs and support business formation in the underserved markets within the Sioux City metro area (IA/NE).
