Iowa Lakes Corridor Development Corporation

The Iowa Lakes Corridor Development Corporation (formerly the Great Lakes Corridor of Opportunity) was organized in 1992 to foster, encourage, promote, assist or otherwise aid economic growth and development in the Iowa counties of Clay and Dickinson. In late 2005, Emmet County became a part of the region and Buena Vista County joined the region in January 2006.

The organization is a 501(c)6, non-profit organization in the State of Iowa. The Iowa Lakes Corridor is governed by a 16-member board of directors who set policy and direction for the organization. The Corridor currently receives funding from over 80 public- and private-sector organizations. The total annual budget is approximately $700,000. The Iowa Lakes Corridor has four full-time and one part-time, professional staff members with a central office located in Spencer.
