What Is JEDCO

JEDCO is a private-public partnership with the City of Johnston, with both entities working together to strengthen economic development for its residential and business communities.

Our mission is to foster economic growth and opportunity in the Johnston community, and the Greater Des Moines region, by serving as an advocate for smart development, providing educational and promotional opportunities, and connecting people who work in the economic development sector and business communities.

JEDCO plays an important role in promoting Johnston as a great place to do business and providing assistance to businesses throughout the various phases of the development process. As a private, not-for-profit corporation, JEDCO is positioned to be a problem solver for both developers and the city. By helping developers find the ideal property or building in which to invest, Johnston city leaders can focus on ensuring a smooth development process.

Individuals and business representatives of the Johnston community are encouraged to become members and corporate partners, not only to promote economic growth in the Johnston community through participation in our organization, but also to take advantage of the promotional opportunities we provide to our members.
