The Iowa Initiative for Sustainable Communities pursues a dual mission of enhancing the quality of life in Iowa while transforming teaching and learning at the university. Sustainable communities are those in which current generations can meet their social, economic, and environmental needs without compromising the ability of future generations to do so as well.
Webster City was chosen from a competitive application process to be the IISC partner for the 2018-19 academic year.
The IISC partnership provided the City of Webster City with an opportunity to engage the community to help us identify, plan, and promote a new vision for our future. We hope that the projects we completed with the Iowa Initiative for Sustainable Communities program will continue to build a sense of collective identity and civic pride, and remove barriers to more residents choosing to work, live, and socialize in our community. We wish to provide a more connected and sustainable future by reinvigorating investment into the community through the wide range of projects that will serve the next generations who choose to call Webster City home.
