On the heels of Carroll County’s first Legislative Forum, Shannon Landauer, Executive Director of the Chamber of Commerce, the organization who hosts these events, says they are optimistic that this session will bring more opportunities to Carroll and the rest of Iowa. She says she was pleased to hear Gov. Kim Reynolds address the workforce housing tax credit, and the chamber will continue to monitor that program and the ways it can benefit the residents of Carroll and Carroll County. Landauer says that it is not just the legislature, they partner with other state departments to provide more opportunities.
One of the biggest parts of the conversations that needs to take place this year is about funding.
These discussions and many more continue with the now monthly Carroll Chamber of Commerce Legislative Forums. The next one-hour session is scheduled for 10 a.m. Saturday, Feb. 23 at Carroll Dental Associations on Highway 71.
