About

Two groups that place major emphasis on business development in State Center are the State Center Development Association (SCDA) and the City Government of State Center. The State Center Development Association is part of the Main Street Iowa Program and has brought over ten million dollars in private investment to State Center. The City and SCDA has funded new streetlights, sidewalks, and street pavement on Main Street. It has sponsored a housing development and has provided major funding for historic property restoration and the construction of a new grocery store. The mission of the Main Street Iowa Program is to improve the social and economic well-being of Iowa’s communities by assisting selected communities to capitalize on the unique identity, assets and character of their historic commercial district.  Main Street is economic development within the context of historic preservation.
