After a failed bid for the Iowa governship in 2002, lawyer Doug Gross took the leftover campaign money and created a group to research how to improve the economic viability of Iowa's rural counties. Some of the findings, according to a Quad Cities Times article:
The group learned that to remain vital, Iowa’s rural counties should increase the number of locally owned non-farm businesses, create outdoor recreational amenities, increase the percentage of countywide income from livestock sales and create jobs within 30 miles of residential areas. They counted the number of local and state parks, bike trails and lakes and learned that outdoor recreational features create a regional impact. |
