  • Nestled in Plymouth County, Craig, Iowa is a small but tight-knit community with a population of just 79 residents as of the 2020 census. Despite its modest size, Craig benefits from its location within a broader regional framework that supports business development and workforce training. The city’s proximity to Le Mars and the surrounding rural economy offers opportunities for small-scale industrial, agricultural, or service-oriented ventures.

    Regional and state-level programs provide valuable support for businesses considering expansion or relocation to Craig. Iowa’s Industrial New Jobs Training (260E) program enables companies to access low-cost employee training through community colleges, funded by bonds repaid via withholding tax diversions. This makes workforce development more affordable for employers. Additionally, the High Quality Jobs (HQJ) program offers a suite of incentives—such as tax credits, sales tax refunds, and property tax

    exemptions—to businesses that create high-paying jobs and contribute to local economic impact.

    Craig and Plymouth County also stand to benefit from statewide workforce development infrastructure. The Iowa State Workforce Development Board oversees local workforce areas—including the Iowa Plains Local Workforce Area that serves western Iowa—providing coordination and resources under the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity...
