| Business and Industry- Iola Industries |
|
Imagine if the citizens of a community agreed to work together to enhance their quality of life by promoting a positive environment for industry to thrive and grow. It happened in Iola, Kansas, in June of 1955. A doctor, newspaper publisher, bankers, credit bureau manager, Realtor, S&L manager, gas plant manager, attorney, drugstore and clothing store owners, and a foundry owner came together to form a for-profit corporation to promote industrial development in their community. Their vision for Iola Industries became a reality.
The synergy of this group of individuals makes it work. Their ability to streamline the process and work cooperatively with city and county governments has been proved time and time again. The entire development process is much more efficient thanks to Iola Industries, Inc. industrial version of "one-stop shopping."
Iola Industries has helped make labor surveys, determine soil types for contractors, answered specific questions about taxes, utility rates, and transportation facilities.
