Economic Development Data for Decision Makers
When it comes to business expansion, we can quickly and accurately provide information
essential to any site location decision. We recognize that reliable and comprehensive data is
a priority of any site selector or business decision maker. That’s why we have incorporated the
International Economic Development Council (IEDC) Data Standards into our available property
section and community data. In addition to utilizing IEDC standards, we also tap into our state
universities for retail trade information and analysis. Community and retail trade data can be
found in the links below. If you don’t find the information you are looking for do not hesitate to

Marshalltown Opportunity Zone
CDFA Opportunity Zone Information
Created as part of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, Opportunity Zones are a federal economic
development tool aiming to improve the outcomes of distressed communities around the
country. Opportunity Zones are low-income census tracts that offer tax incentives to
groups who invest and hold their capital gains in Zone assets or property. By investing
in Opportunity Zones, investors stand to gain a temporary deferral on their capital
gains taxes if they hold their investments for at least 5 years, and a permanent
exclusion from a tax on capital gains from the Opportunity Zones investments if the
investments are held for 10 years.
