Short, Medium & Long-Range Projects 2019 Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy (CEDS)
DIRECTIONS: This should not be a “wish list”. This is an inventory of prioritized projects, programs, or policies that you actually believe your city is likely to undertake and the timeframe in which they will be implemented.
Organize projects, programs, and policies that your Council anticipates implementing over the next ten years. Short-range -- Implemented during the next year. Medium-range -- Implemented within two to five years Long-range -- Implemented five or more years from now
Prioritize. Which short-term project is considered your number one priority? Your number two priority? Your number three priority, etc.? Determine the same for the medium and long-range projects.
The purpose of this request is to develop a comprehensive inventory of projects from throughout the region. When complete, this information will provide an overview of projects planned throughout the region and will assist SICOG in better serving your needs.
Briefly describe each project planned by your City. Identify the Priority Category that you believe it best falls under. A list of priority categories from which to choose is shown at the bottom of this page. Use the option “I do not know” if uncertain under which priority category a project best falls and we will categorize it for you. If you submitted this information to SICOG last year, your responses are enclosed to assist you.
SHORT-RANGE PROJECTS (within the next year) Priority Category 1. 1. 2. 2. 3. 3. 4. 4. 5. 5. 6. 6. 7. 7. 8. 8.
MEDIUM-RANGE PROJECTS (two to five years from now) Priority Category 1. 1. 2. 2. 3. 3. 4. 4. 5. 5. 6. 6. 7. 7. 8. 8.

Introduction The Southern Iowa Council of Governments’ request for a Disaster Recovery Coordinator was made in order to provide dedicated technical assistance to the needs of communities in our eight county region– particularly those that stemmed from the Floods and Ice Storm of 2008 (FEMA 1763 and 1737 respectively). The capacity of the communities in our rural region is limited and many of the Federal assistance programs have provisions that are difficult to surmount. Few rural communities have the financial capacity to hire the dedicated staff necessary to manage and administer these kinds of programs. SICOG and the Disaster Recovery Coordinator have provided the necessary information and services to our communities in order to recover from the damage of these disasters and to mitigate the impacts of future events. Furthermore, this investment and the CEDS Planning Program are both part of a larger strategy to drive coordination and cooperation between local economic development service delivery agencies. This holistic strategy is a catalyst through which future job creation can be facilitated and private investments can be leveraged.
The communities and counties in our region were greatly impacted by the disaster events in 2008. A major winter storm paralyzed many of our communities in January when large quantities of ice made roads inaccessible and damaged key infrastructure, including power distribution lines, roads, and public buildings. This storm was quite significant in its impact, and its effects were being remedied when the second disaster occurred. In June the region experienced severe thunderstorms and historic flooding that devastated portions of the SICOG area, with up to ten (10) inches of rain falling in some communities. In Creston and Corning, areas of the communities’ commercial district were submerged and/or experienced structural damage to their physical structures. Furthermore, vital infrastructure was inundated by water and most communities experienced sewerage backup due to the large influx of storm water into the system. In Creston alone more than one-third of residences and businesses were affected by the heavy rainfall and related issues.
In response to both the Ice Storms and Floods of 2008, the SICOG Disaster Recovery Coordinator sought to effectively organize the resources and provide leadership for the recovery effort throughout the region. Furthermore, the EDA investment brought private and public sector representatives together through regional partnerships to discuss identify, and address local and regional needs related to both economic development and disaster recovery. These efforts were instrumental in realizing the long-term economic development goals of the region and have identified key assets and investments in our communities that are essential to the economic vitality of the region.
The Southern Iowa EDD staff provides numerous resources related to economic development, technical assistance, strategic planning, and the means through which funding can be secured. These resources directly increased the number and diversity of business start-ups and expansions throughout the region. The EDA Recovery Coordinator support and other public and private expenditures were essential to the long-
1 term economic health of the region as a whole. Recovery from the Disasters of 2008 and the tornado disasters of 2012 in both Taylor County and Union County, and mitigation of future impacts are essential to both the private and public sectors as the SICOG region moves forward.
Regional Implementation Strategy The strategy detailed below is a product of the local recovery efforts in the Southern Iowa COG region, and the needs expressed by local community leaders. The Regional Implementation Strategy is intended to serve as a framework for ongoing recovery and mitigation activities.
Goal 1: Hazard Mitigation Objective 1: Reduce Losses to Property and Human Life from Severe Weather Hazards Action Steps: 1. Develop and maintain hazard mitigation plans in all jurisdictions using HMGP funds: Coordinate between local governments to eliminate all Single-Jurisdiction Hazard Mitigation plans in the SICOG region. Ensure that plans are updated regularly, and that mitigation actions are being implemented. Integrate additional walk-through audits of communities with City and County officials. 2. Local NOAA Weather Radio Programs: Assist local Emergency Management officials and local governments with the creation of local weather radio programs. Funds from local governments, local interest groups, community foundations, and Emergency Management funding sources could be utilized. 3. Tornado Safe Rooms Projects: Encourage local governments and schools to seek funding for tornado safe rooms at critical facilities, public buildings, recreational fields, and campgrounds. 4. Promote Storm Siren Projects in Rural Communities and at County Facilities: Support the development of storm siren projects that seek to protect rural residents and users of rural public facilities. Funds from USDA or the HMGP could be utilized.
Objective 2: Improve the integrity and resiliency of infrastructure within the region Action Steps: 1. Implement Identified Infrastructure Projects: Apply for funding for previously identified recovery and mitigation projects. These projects include road repairs, the enhancement of back-up generators, storm and sanitary sewer systems, wastewater treatment facilities, power transmission, among others. Potential funding sources include USDA, HMGP, CDBG, I-JOBS, FEMA, and other funding sources as appropriate. 2. Infrastructure Needs Assessment: Conduct study of infrastructure needs and vulnerability throughout the SICOG region. Funding could be requested from the State of Iowa or from EDA. Study would identify priority projects, time frames, and compliance with other schedules like DNR Consent Orders. Additionally, this Needs Assessment would provide a basis and framework for programming infrastructure investments, and could be revisited regularly to include additionally projects or make necessary changes.
2 Goal 2: Housing Recovery Objective 1: Replace Housing Stock Damaged by 2008 Floods & Severe Storms Action Steps: 1. Single-Family New Production, Replacement Housing Program: SICOG will be accepting applications from potential homeowners in the coming months for the third round of this program. No units have been built from previous rounds of funding, but SICOG intends to create a proposal for the construction of at least five units throughout the region. The Iowa Economic Development Authority provides funds for this program.
Objective 2: Promote & Expand Affordable Housing Opportunities Action Steps: 1. Regional Housing Needs Assessment: SICOG completed its latest Regional Housing Needs Assessment in 2005. This assessment was developed to identify and communities with specific housing-related needs and projects. Support identified projects with funds from the regional Housing Trust Fund, CDBG, and HOME funds.
Goal 3: Business Recovery Objective 1: Improve the resiliency of the private sector to disaster situations Action Steps: 1. Promote Business Continuity Planning: Maintain resources and example plans for interested businesses. Promote Business Continuity Planning through local Chambers of Commerce and Development Corporations. 2. Promote Business Continuity and Continuity of Operations planning to critical assets and major employers identified in the Hazard Mitigation Planning process. 3. Recapitalize Revolving Loan Fund: Support business expansions and improvements to existing buildings. Funds could be sought from the Iowa finance Authority and Economic Development Administration. RLF investments support the general economic health of the region and its resiliency during and after disaster events.
Goal 4: Coordination and Capacity Building Objective 1: Enhance the capacity of and coordination between recovery partners Action Steps: 1. Coordinate a Regional Meeting of Emergency Management Officials 2. Utilize the expertise and institutional knowledge of emergency management officials with disaster response and recovery issues. Build a regional network through which disaster related information can be shared efficiently and effectively.
Regional Recovery Strategy The purpose of the Regional Recovery Strategy is to provide a framework in which the Southern Iowa Council of Governments and its partner communities can respond to the immediate demands of recovery efforts and mitigate the impacts of future disaster events. This Recovery Strategy establishes responsibilities for communities and recovery partners during the immediate and intermediate stages of recovery.
3 This framework was born of the Southern Iowa COG’s experience with the recovery efforts that followed the multiple disaster events of 2008. It addresses many of the obstacles that SICOG and other regional partners faced in 2008, and builds on the successes of those recovery efforts as well. This strategy is intended to be a “living document”– one in which the included action steps and enumerated responsibilities are reconsidered on a regular basis. Additional input from regional recovery partners and local leaders will be incorporated into this strategy as it is reconsidered and evolves. A regular review schedule for this strategy and the associated documents will allow information about new programs to be incorporated into the strategy, and address any salient issues that arise.
The following strategy is outlined at two levels: an overarching regional strategy and strategies for individual communities. The recovery strategy is constructed with municipalities and counties in mind, providing guidance for the community as a whole. However, in the event of a disaster, individual residents and businesses also require guidance as well. These issues are addressed by specific action items in the Recovery Strategy and by additional resources to be developed over time. The final two sections of the current Recovery Strategy serve as a brief guide to addressing the immediate needs of homeowners and businesses, and provide guidance to help ensure that these individuals and businesses are positioned to make the most of disaster funding.
Regional Strategy Immediate Recovery Efforts & Coordination Establish a Regional Recovery Committee with representatives from local organizations, and communities. This group will coordinate information to ensure that channels of communication between communities and recovery organizations are open. E-mail distribution lists and regular meetings should be held to promote coordination between groups. Responsible Entities: Local governments, Emergency Management, non-profits, SICOG, volunteers
Identify a “point of contact” for regional recovery efforts. This staff member would ensure that appropriate and timely information is provided to disaster-affected individuals, businesses, and communities. Individual communities should contact the SICOG to ensure that questions directed to city or county staff people are forwarded to the appropriate recovery partners. Responsible Entity: Regional Recovery Committee
Develop a Communications Plan for recovery efforts. Coordinate press releases between recovery partners, and work with local newspapers and radio stations to ensure that complete, up-to-date information is provided to residents of the region. Media outlets should be provided with information on all available programs to avoid a patchwork of articles or broadcasts regarding related programs or initiatives. Responsible Entity: Regional Recovery Committee
4 Collect and manage disaster-related data. Create a data management system to identify needs and measure progress of the recovery effort. Data should be collected on housing needs, infrastructure failures, and damage to public property. This information is critical for future planning efforts and mitigation projects. Responsible Entities: Local governments, Emergency Management Officials, non- profits, SICOG
Incorporate disaster recovery and mitigation into planning activities. Identify disaster recovery and mitigation projects in long-term, regional strategies such as the Comprehensive Economic Development strategy and any broad infrastructure study that is completed in the future. Responsible Entities: SICOG, local governments, development corporations, Chambers of Commerce
Business & Industry Provide affected businesses with list of available recovery resources. Utilize contacts made through the distribution of surveys and referrals from communities, chambers of commerce, development corporations, and other recovery partners. Responsible Entities: SICOG, Chambers of Commerce, Development Corporations, local governments
Recapitalize RLF to support economic growth in the regional economy. Support projects throughout the region that foster job growth and enhance the economic health following disaster events. Revolving Loans Fund programs should be considered to provide assistance to disaster affected businesses and non-profits. Responsible Entities: SICOG, local financial institutions, Chambers of Commerce, local development corporations, EDA, IFA
Homeowners Provide Recovery Checklists and recovery resources to affected homeowners. Disseminate checklists for disaster recovery through community canvassing or with utility bills. Checklists should provide information on potential financial assistance available, and documentation for homeowners to retain in order to ensure their eligibility for recovery programs. Responsible Entities: SICOG, non-profits, local governments, ISU Extension, volunteers
Local Strategies Infrastructure & Public Property Apply for Infrastructure Assistance. Local governments should track and report disaster damage to FEMA and IDOT following disaster events. City officials should coordinate with County Emergency Management Coordinators to submit applications for FEMA Public Assistance to repair damage from disaster events. Responsible Entities: Local governments, FEMA, IDOT
Assess opportunities for mitigation and recovery projects.
5 Local infrastructure projects related to mitigation and recovery should be identified and incorporated into existing capital improvements programming. Responsible Entities: Local governments
Business & Industry Survey local businesses to measure impact of the disaster event. Coordinate with local Chambers of Commerce and development corporations to survey local businesses about the effects of a disaster event. Surveys should solicit information regarding the types of impacts experienced, and the estimated costs of those impacts. When completed this Business Survey will be incorporated into this report. Responsible Entities: Chambers of Commerce, local development corporations, local governments, SICOG
Identify projects to enhance the resiliency of the regional economy to disaster events. Strengthening local businesses enhances the capacity of a community to recover from disaster events. Promote and develop economic development initiatives, infrastructure projects, job creation activities, and business continuity planning to local businesses. Responsible Entities: Local governments, local development corporations, local governments, SICOG, SICOG-RLF
Housing Stabilize existing housing stock. Address health and safety concerns in local housing, and work to bring housing back to pre-disaster condition. Coordinate with recovery partners to match the needs of affected homeowners with available local, state, and federal funding. Responsible Entities: Local governments, non-profits, IEDA, IFA, Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB), SICOG Housing Trust Fund
Participate in replacement housing programs. Work with cities, local development corporations and builders to utilize state funding for replacement housing programs. Regional allocations of funding provided to SICOG should be utilized to maximize housing opportunities for residents of the SICOG region. Responsible Entities: SICOG, SICOG Housing Trust Fund, IDED, IFA, Development Corporations
