The intent of the GCVAC's overall economic development program is to intentionally integrate cross marketing in each initiative GCVAC undertakes realizing there is a direct correlation in business recruitment, workforce development, and business retention. The Greater Cedar Valley Alliance & Chamber is a regional economic community development corporation working to increase economic vitality and wealth in the Waterloo/Cedar Falls MSA and surrounding economic region. Economic Development Initiatives: June 2012 — December 2012 Opportunities Delivered — GCVAC's goal for fiscal year 2012/2013 is to identify and/or participate greatly in 20 opportunities for GCVAC's service area averaging a $5 million capital investment and $19.00/hr average wage rate. To date, GCVAC has totaled 12 opportunities representing 678 jobs (315 jobs meeting the $19.00/hr criteria) with average investment of$6.78 million capital investment. For Waterloo, four opportunities represent existing business (Twin City Hide, Alpha Express, Hydrite Chemical and Grainger); four represent new project opportunities (IWEB, Arkadium, Plastic Injection Molding, WorldStrides, LLC) and one represents GCVAC's participation with Hostess Brands property acquisition. Information Technology (IT) Marketing — GCVAC led a regional effort retaining a lead generation firm (310 LTD) to help identify growing IT and data center firms. To date, five IT/data center projects have been identified. GCVAC has retained this same firm to identify additional project lead from companies in IT/data center, renewable energy and advanced manufacturing. The intent of GCVAC is to focus primarily on projects which pay $19.00/hr wage. At calendar year's end, a database of 900 plus companies has been contacted multiple times representing 2,182 total calls made. 1 International Food Technology Trade Show—Through the Cedar Valley Regional Partnership, GCVAC staff participated and represented Waterloo in a trade show exhibit at North America's largest food ingredient show in June. Two follow-up international lead opportunities were identified at the show. FABTECH International —Through the Cedar Valley Regional Partnership, five leads were identified along with an additional 10 soft leads. The booth exhibit was also used to encourage attending technology students to explore manufacturing positions available in Waterloo and the Cedar Valley Region. FABTECH is the world's largest metal forming, fabricating, finishing and welding event. GMAC — GCVAC has worked with the ResCap officials to identify the number of positions associated with the Waterloo operation, wage rate ranges and contact information for the new owner, Ocwen. In turn, GCVAC staff is planning on a business retention meeting with corporate officials representing Ocwen. GCVAC staff is also working closely Iowa Economic Development Authority to develop a strategy for incentive retention for potential need. Existing Business Survey (Synchronist) —A goal of 60 surveys completed in fiscal year 2013 was set with 36 being completed by the end of November. These reports helped provide a variety of information such as confirmations of plans for expansion (Grainger and Twin City Tanning), issues that may prohibit future expansion, measuring companies who are looking for additional space/locations, those with utility or street/traffic concerns and those in need of workforce development services. Skilled Iowa Program — On November 20th Governor Terry Branstad declared the Cedar Valley to be Iowa's first Skilled Iowa Community. The GCVAC is taking the lead on educating all area businesses on this new program with the goal of increasing awareness about the skills needed to be hired by local organizations and to help promote the need for higher-level skills in modern workplace. To date, GCVAC staff has helped the state attain the goal of registering over 135 businesses in Black Hawk County, including 50 plus businesses in the City of Waterloo. 2 TechWorks Campus — June-December 2012 • Construction bids were let on the site work for property surrounding the Deere museum and portions of Tech I; • Solidified renewable energy partners: vertical axis wind, solar photovoltaic and fuel cell; • Partnering with UNI, Hawkeye Community College and Iowa Innovation Council to pursue designation of TechWorks as the advanced manufacturing hub for the state of Iowa; • Working with local developer for investment in Tech I renovation using disaster recovery bonds. Hostess Brand/Recipe Purchaser(s) — GCVAC is actively tracking and identifying potential purchasers of Hostess brands and recipes, so we can project possible siting of new locations associated with these acquisitions. Intent is not to recruit to the former facility but instead focus recruitment efforts on the physical infrastructure that the Waterloo area provides for distribution and food processing. Talent Realignment Services - The new Talent Realignment Services offered by the GCVAC (which step in when businesses downsize staff or close their doors), examine the skill sets of the affected persons and the needs of our local businesses match the most likely companies with the population affected by each event. Hostess — GCVAC organized and led a job fair on November 30th to find new job opportunities for Hostess employees. Waterloo businesses that participated included: Bertch Cabinets, ConAgra, Hydrite Chemical, Isle Casino Hotel, Power Engineering, Preis Enterprises, Tyson, City & National Employment, Hy-Vee and more. Over 70% of the affected workers attended along with 12 people from the general public. PFG — GCVAC led a job fair to reach out to displaced workers from the company's many entities soon after their closure. This event took place on July 31st. Twenty-three companies participated while 66 employees attended. This outreach is ongoing as needed by displaced employees including resume assistance and personal phone calls to help match talent to business needs. Waterloo businesses/operations participating included: GMAC, Mediacom, CBE Group, Village Inn Restaurants, Mediacom, and Hawkeye Community College, among others. 3 BPI — GCVAC helped coordinate an information session with Governor Brandstad and owners of BPI at Hawkeye Community College in June. GCVAC staff worked with area businesses and lowaWORKS to identify expanding companies who were hiring and place opportunities for the BPI workforce. High-Tech Talent Recruitment Initiative — To support existing IT companies' continued growth in the community, a GCVAC-led recruitment event took place on September 28th at Brown College in Mendota Heights, MN. Officials from area businesses accompanied GCVAC staff to meet with 120 students from the school's IT department. To date, an area business has hired two game developers; while another is reviewing resumes. Intent is to plan a similar event again in the spring with more existing IT business participation and additional MN colleges. Minnesota is a hot spot for IT talent and potentially a good source for population growth for the Cedar Valley, in turn, helping GCVAC's ability to recruit new IT business to Waterloo Talent Tells All Event—A part of the "Work the Valley" initiative which is meant to encourage local, emerging talent to choose the Cedar Valley as their career community. This specific event was held on December 7th. A panel of UNI students shared their opinions as young professionals on how the Cedar Valley could be more competitive in attracting young talent to have careers in Waterloo and the region. Forty HR professionals from the area, including representatives from John Deere, CBE Group, Veridian, Hawkeye Community College and Cedar Valley United Way attended. Legislative Agenda — GCVAC led preparation of the area's legislative policy agenda including input from Waterloo influences from the City, Main Street and the Convention & Visitors Bureau. Roundtable technical sessions with area legislators provided an opportunity for dialog exchange of issues prior to 2013 session. Data Portal - GCVAC is currently populating on-demand online demographic, economic, social and housing related information on the metro area and Waterloo. Expected to be complete February 2013. Dream Big, Grow Here (Cedar Valley 2012) - The DBGH Cedar Valley is a $5,000 grant contest led by GCVAC and sponsored by the CVRP, occurring annually.
