Economic Development

EDC Ground Breaking

Story City is located in central Iowa on Interstate 35, only 45 minutes north of Des Moines and 10 minutes north of Ames and Iowa State University. Industrial parks, shopping malls, and several restuarants are located on the interstate, with a vibrant downtown located less than two miles west of I-35. US Hwy 69 is located one mile west of the downtown.

Story City Economic Development Corporation works directly with the State of Iowa and City of Story City to design an incentive package that best suits prospective developers. This 12-person board is experienced in working with a variety of industries and business sizes.
