The Greater Des Moines Partnership coordinates economic development across Iowa's capital region, managing signature programs like the Downtown Des Moines Farmers' Market and Operation Downtown. Based in the central business district, this organization connects public and private stakeholders through targeted urban development initiatives, business expansion support, and community programming. The Partnership maintains offices in the Des Moines metro area while serving the broader central Iowa economic corridor. Operation Downtown, the Partnership's urban enhancement program, focuses on infrastructure improvements, district maintenance, and hospitality services throughout Des Moines' commercial core. The Downtown Des Moines Farmers' Market, held Saturdays during growing season, brings regional agricultural producers and artisans to the Historic Court District. These initiatives support both established enterprises and emerging businesses while strengthening connections between urban and rural communities. The Partnership provides relocation assistance, expansion planning, and workforce development resources to businesses exploring opportunities in central Iowa. Working with municipal governments, educational institutions, and industry leaders, the organization helps companies navigate local regulations, access development incentives, and connect with regional suppliers. The Partnership maintains data on commercial real estate, labor markets, and infrastructure to inform business investment decisions.
