Sioux City, on the banks of the Missouri River where Iowa, Nebraska and South Dakota come together, is perfectly positioned for growth. Twice named an “All-American City,” Sioux City offers a bustling economy and an excellent quality of life. A recently approved $212 million River’s Edge Project to promote further cultural and economic growth includes financial incentives for developing small businesses and sporting venues. The population is 85,000 with a median income of $26,000. Major employers include Gateway, IBP (a beef and pork producer) and Tyson Foods. The Vision Iowa Board has underwritten work for a Ground Transportation Center, an Event Center and a Lewis & Clark Interpretive Center. The Sioux City Art Center, Sioux City Symphony and traveling Broadway and Shakespeare productions provide a solid cultural base. For sports enthusiasts, there are three professional minor league teams. The Sioux City Journal is the area’s most complete local news, entertainment and sports source.
