SETTING THE BAR
by Jason Hutcheson
Each year, the Partnership boards of directors authorize major goals,
strategies and initiatives for the calendar year. Naturally, there are
programs and events that the organization executes every year such as
the annual dinner, coordinating economic development packages to
expanding companies, recruiting and supporting multi-day visitor events,
and pulling off successful events in Downtown Burlington. That said, the
‘regulars’ do not make the 2016 Goals and Strategies document, as its focus
is much more strategic.
You may view the full 2016 work plan on the Partnership website, but I
will also provide a key strategic priority from each division for you below:

Chamber of Commerce: Within this division, there will be an increased effort on the external
communications plan. Due in part to the newsletter, the organization does a fairly good job of
sharing important messages and updates with our members. However, there are roughly 1,700
individuals on our distribution list, and there are more than 40,000 in Des Moines County. Over
the course of the next few months, you are likely to see increased communication to the general
public about key initiatives and public policy of importance to stakeholders.
Economic Development: For a number of years, the Partnership has been engaged in
programming related to workforce development including career fairs for students and on-site job
shadowing in manufacturing facilities. Over the next 12 months, you are likely to witness a slight
change in strategy as we transition to a focus on talent attraction. Due to strong job growth, our
community must turn its attention to the recruitment of new individuals to the Greater Burlington
area to fill the demanding requirements of employers.
Convention & Visitors Bureau: Sporting events have become big business to our
community, and a couple of years ago, the CVB established a sports commission. Since inception,
the group has focused mainly as a conduit for grant funding to augment sports tournaments.
During 2016, the commission will become a bit more proactive as it attempts to recruit additional
tournaments to the community and work with tournament organizers to attract even more teams to
existing tournaments.
Downtown Partners: Over the last year, the groundwork has been laid for positive
enhancements to the downtown area through both the Lightscape Project and the parking
study. We fully expect towers and steeples to be lit during 2016, and material progress on the
implementation of the parking study should commence preparing the way for even more
redevelopment of historic buildings.
Your boards of directors have never settled for mediocrity. The bar has been set high for 2016, and
I expect it to be another great year!

ON THE COVER
LEADERSHIP TAKES ON NEW ROLE
Setting the policies and goals for the Greater Burlington Partnership is
the responsibility of the Board of Directors each year. This organization
is unique in its structure and includes a Chamber of Commerce,
Economic Development group, Convention and Visitors Bureau,
and Main Street organization all under the same collective umbrella
identity. For this community, the arrangement has proven to be a
great strategy.
In order to accomplish this task, each division at the Partnership has
a separate board of directors, segregated funds and a unique mission
statement.
The chairs of each board of directors grace this month’s
cover. In 2016, the chairs of the divisions are as follows
(from left to right on the cover):
• Joyce Vance, Girl Scouts of Eastern Iowa and Western
Illinois, Chamber of Commerce Chair
• Charles L. Walsh, Farmers & Merchants Bank & Trust,
Economic Development Chair
• K.C. Fleming, Great River Health Systems,
Convention & Visitors Bureau Chair
• Julie Anderson, Hope Haven Area Development Center,
Downtown Partners Chair
The chairs of the organization do much more than preside over
monthly board meetings. During the one year term, they represent the
organization at a variety of functions and collectively meet to ensure
the organization is running efficiently and effectively.
When you have an opportunity, please thank these individuals for their
time and dedication to the organization and the community.

2016 LEGISLATIVE PRIORITIES
It is imperative that a successful
Chamber of Commerce work within
the political realm to advocate positions
important to business. Annually,
the Chamber of Commerce Board
of Directors approves legislative
statements that reflect those issues
the Chamber of Commerce believes
is in the best interests of the business
community in Greater Burlington.
Here are some highlights:
Oppose the Iowa State Legislature
delaying annual appropriations for
school districts. School districts are
required to certify their budgets by
April 15. This is often before they know
the amount of state aid they will receive.
The state legislature needs to follow
the law and provide districts with aid
projections at least one year in advance.
Encourage a robust discussion
with business leaders about benefits
and consequences of adjusting the
minimum wage. Any adjustment to the
minimum wage should be modest and
implemented over multiple years.
Support efforts to establish an
Eco-Friendly Renewable Chemical
Production Tax Credit to encourage
rapid growth of this burgeoning
industry in Iowa.
Support allowing businesses to
collect sales tax from out-of-state
establishments in order to reduce
the inequity that now exists between
online sellers and bricks-and-mortar
businesses.
Encourage beneficial consolidation
between local governments, sharing
administrative support, equipment,
facilities and personnel.

LET’S CELEBRATE
REGIONAL AWARD
The Mid America Economic
Development Council
presented the Greater
Burlington Partnership with
an award for its coordination
and execution of the Inaugural
‘Iowa’s Next Big Thing’ Youth
Entrepreneurship Event at its
annual awards luncheon. The
inaugural event had more than
100 students participate from
16 schools across the region.
David Toyer was present in
Chicago to accept the award.
MEET THE NEW LEADERSHIP
CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
Joyce Vance, Girl Scouts of Eastern Iowa and Western Illinois
Goal: The Board of Directors is comprised of bright, talented and busy professional men
and women. It is my goal to facilitate a meaningful and rewarding volunteer experience for
their commitment to serve. Active participation by a volunteer board representing businesses
large, small and in between unites people from diverse backgrounds to work toward
developing a strong and vibrant community.
Why: It is a privilege to serve as chair. It is my hope to help create synergy and build
community through a collaborative and engaged board as we work toward making the
community the best place to work, live, play and raise a family.
ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
Charles L. Walsh, Farmers & Merchants Bank & Trust
Goal: My main goal for the year is to help facilitate the improvements to the Greater
Burlington area by representing both current businesses and those looking to move into the area.
Why: As local Community Banker and Chamber member, I have always felt it is extremely
important to get involved in any way possible to improve the community. Involvement has been
a tradition for four generations of the Walsh family. I believe in the missions of the Partnership,
and I will continue to support their efforts in the future.
CONVENTION & VISITORS BUREAU
K.C. Fleming, Great River Health Systems
Goal: My primary efforts will be focused on continuing to build on the foundation that Mike
Shinn and other previous chairs have built for the CVB. Continuing to advance and enhance the
existing momentum on projects related to the indoor RecPlex facility, which extends the tourism
season in the area, finalize the wayfinding project and market the area as a favorable destination.
Why: Greater Burlington didn’t get to where it is by accident. Today, we benefit from lots of
foresight and effort by leaders from previous decades. It takes ideas and people to put them in
motion to make things happen…and in doing that, we can, and should, all do our part to make
Greater Burlington a better place for generations to come.
DOWNTOWN PARTNERS, INC.
Julie Anderson, Hope Haven Area Development Center
Goal: To advocate for and help bring more awareness of all of the great things happening in
Downtown Burlington.
Why: It is exciting to be an active participant and hopefully helpful rather than sitting on the
sidelines and watching things happen. In addition, you have the opportunity to meet and work
with some really great people from all types of businesses and organizations.

STRONG MOMENTUM
MOVING FORWARD
Downtown Partners celebrates its 30th year as a Main Street
organization in 2016, and interest has never been greater. Strategic
moves such as the railroad quiet zone and the addition of dozens of
buildings to the National Register of Historic Places are being met by
surging downtown redevelopment both locally and nationwide. More
and more people are looking to live, open a business, and spend time
in historic, revitalized city centers, and the effects this past year in
downtown Burlington are obvious:
• $3.2 million in private investment took place, with 40
completed property rehabs ranging from new signage to roofs
to interior and exterior work
• Five business starts were welcomed, with a net gain of
2 businesses and 12 FTE jobs
• Nine properties were purchased for a total investment
of over $900,000
• The Community Development Block Grant façade project was
completed, rehabbing 15 building fronts
• A comprehensive parking study was begun in
partnership with the City
page 10
• A total of 16 blade signs have been completed with the
DPI signage grant program, designed to support businesses
and beautify downtown
• Work began on rehabbing the Tama Complex for 48
new apartments
• One storefront project was completed using the
DPI façade loan program
• Over 2900 volunteer hours were recorded for DPI
everything from attending meetings to moving barricades to
planting flowers
“The work of many businesses, volunteers, and municipal leaders
has led to these successes,” said Steve Frevert. Interest continues to
build in new businesses, expanded offerings for visitors to enjoy, and
urban residential use. “As one business owner put it, ‘Downtown is a
sleeping giant that is starting to wake up.’ A strong downtown helps
build a resilient community.”
