The governor spoke about the progress made using public-private partnerships.
'And just look at what we've accomplished these past few years. As you heard, we've cut personal and corporate taxes, sending a clear message across this country and around the world that Iowa is open for business. We've eliminated taxes on retirement and inheritance income. We made major investments in infrastructure, housing, broadband, childcare, and quality of life projects. And to ensure that we can continue to sustain and continue to reduce taxes, as well as maintain those key investments we've outlined, we align state government and we've done everything that we can to keep spending in check,' said Gov. Reynolds.
The economic development conference was formerly known as the SMART Conference.
