Board of Directors

“We developed our initial business plan in 2005 and set out to test its viability among valued business associates, government agencies, and the banking community. CRDC played an important role in assisting us through those initial steps and continues to be our advocate as the company has now progressed from a vision, to a reality.”

Bob Simpson

Big River Packaging

“Since I arrived in Iowa, in the spring of 2018, the CRDC has done a tremendous job of helping me acclimate to the area, as well as provide direction on any questions/concerns related to city activities, governmental affairs, etc. Most recently, the CRDC was instrumental in helping Nestlé Purina PetCare apply and receive state and local funding for our upcoming expansion. Not only did the CRDC go out of their way to provide the necessary application material and information specific to the available grants, etc., but they were available to answer any questions throughout the process. Our local team and our corporate team, are thankful for the CRDC’s help and support and appreciate their forward-thinking to help our business and city grow. We feel fortunate to have such a great partnership with the CRDC.”

Roger Brecht

Nestle Purina PetCare

“We are proud to support and be a part of the CRDC (Clinton Regional Development Corporation). Prior to last year, we were not familiar with the services that the CRDC offers. We had a situation come up and had been recommended to contact the CRDC. The staff and board of the CRDC immediately provided assistance and input to resolve what could have been a detrimental situation for our Company. The staff and board of the CRDC assisted us with communications and interactions on a local and state level that was invaluable to us. Additionally, in working with the CRDC, we learned about how the CRDC supports the area from a wide variety of functions that touch our employees, customers, and business as a whole. Thank you CRDC for supporting our community and our industry!
