Together, We Accomplish Great Things 

PDI holds legislative forums across the State of Iowa to bring together legislators, economic developers, utility companies, engineering firms, developers and development partners to discuss the importance of economic growth in Iowa.  

PDI Members, you need to tell your unique story of why these issues matter to your local community. It is only through sharing our data and stories that legislators will understand the critical nature of their decision on Iowa’s economy. Your efforts are an investment in seeing the change we want in Iowa. Together, we accomplish great things.
