AMES, IOWA – Almost 350 individuals descended upon the 8th annual Iowa Rural Summit, held April 11-12, at the Gateway Hotel & Conference Center, Ames IA. And the two days provided an important glimpse at the great things happening in small towns across the state.
Rural communities were once again being asked to bring a three-person team to the Summit, an approach that had helped generate post-Summit momentum in previous years for those places that were represented.
The Summit is sponsored by the Iowa Rural Development Council (IRDC), a public-private statewide non-profit that works to support small towns addressing issues such as housing, broadband access, business development and leadership.
