West Des Moines - Best for Business

If you've read the Business Record this week for the annual Best Of awards, you've probably noticed that the City of West Des Moines has been honored as the City Government Most Conducive to Business. This is the 13th consecutive year that the City has been so honored and in fact, West Des Moines has received this honor every year that it has been offered. The fact that West Des Moines has once again been named as the city most conducive to business in the metro is a testament to the hard work of elected officials, city employees, and especially the citizens of West Des Moines. West Des Moines has been able to hold on to this award through the years because we have refused to stand pat and have always strived to improve our city in all aspects. Although I am moving on to new challenges, I fully expect to read about West Des Moines winning the award as City Most Conducive to Business for the 14th consecutive year due to the strong infrastructure of people remaining in place.
