We were beyond proud to partner with College Community School District for Our CR Days, a two-day program highlighting the many career opportunities within our Metro Area. In all, nearly 500 educators toured important businesses throughout the region, learning first-hand how to set up their students for careers in various industries. Thank you to The Gazette | Cedar Rapids for highlighting the initiative, and of course, thank you to the business that opened their doors to us!

🎉Happy 1st Work Anniversary to Brittnie Gerard! 🎉 Brittnie is our Office Clerk, who joined us in August of 2023. Here’s what she had to say about her big day: 1- Why did you want to work for/be a part of the Economic Alliance? At first, I did not realize I wanted to, as I started as a temporary employee. However, as I got to know the team and how hard we work to grow a stronger business community, I knew I wanted to stay. 2- What has been the most rewarding part of being on this team? The most rewarding part about being on this team is knowing that what I do every day does matter and is part of the bigger picture. 3- How are you planning on celebrating your anniversary? What excites you about the upcoming year? Hmm… I don’t know how I will celebrate; I haven’t really thought about it until now. Market After Dark is this weekend, and this will be my first time participating in it. I am thrilled to be involved with that! My goal for next year is to grow even more professionally by trying new opportunities and meeting new people. 4- What is your favorite Economic Alliance brand color and why? My favorite EA brand color is teal because it is a great accent color- I even have it in my kitchen.

Exciting things happening in our surrounding communities! Ely’s largest ever private commercial investment project broke ground this morning👏. Between FJ Krob and Dan and Debbie's Creamery, Inc. used to be a gravel lot that was empty for many years- until now. Main Street Legacy, LLC, celebrated the groundbreaking of a mixed-use facility, with commercial space on the bottom floor and 10 condos on the top floor. Speakers at the event included Mark Krob, Manager at FJ Krob, Bob Gaffney, President of Rinderknecht, and Scott Ladwig, the mayor of Ely. We are thrilled to celebrate another big win in economic development! 🎉🎉🎉
