Priorities

The Mason City Chamber of Commerce is a 501c6 organization. We are non-partisan, but we do take positions on issues at the local, state, and federal level to stimulate economic growth opportunities for local business.

We challenge our elected officials to be responsible stewards of taxpayer money and invest in programs and policies that will enable North Iowa to grow.

Our Advocacy Agenda is guided by the following principles:
  • We believe our region needs strategic, aggressive, forward-thinking policies and programs that stimulate strong economic growth and result in additional jobs, and as a consequence, increased revenue for government.
  • We support a regulatory and tax climate conducive to making North Iowa competitive in attracting business expansion opportunities and fostering the growth of new and existing business.
  • We support streamlined governments at all levels that are efficient, cost-effective, and responsive to business needs by finding ways to use tax dollars more wisely while improving services.
  • We support an ongoing, sustainable funding mechanism for building and rebuilding infrastructure and amenities to improve the quality of life in North Iowa.
