United by a desire to promote Sac City and the surrounding area, Sac Development board members share their knowledge of banking, real estate, business, and city government to create new opportunities in Sac City.
Sac Development Corporation has enlisted support from 15 local businesses to implement a marketing plan for the city that includes video, print, on-line, and direct mailing components. Focusing on attracting new businesses and residents, retaining existing opportunities, and encouraging former residents to return to the city, the marketing plan has shared stories from local residents about reasons to invest in the community, advantages of living in Sac City, and the joy of returning to the area. By targeting specific types of businesses needed to augment services, the group seeks to make the town even more attractive to future investors.
SDC partners with Sac City Chamber Main Street, Sac (County) Economic Tourism and Development (SETD), and the city to attract new businesses and help with business transitions. Board members have worked with local elected officials to review city code and make it as friendly to new business as possible. SDC helps fund marketing the community at area industrial and recreational fairs.
The organization is funded through donations from the city and individuals. Donations may be sent to Iowa State Bank to help support future projects.
