DES MOINES, IOWA (AP) -- Gov. Chet Culver says the latest index of leading economic indicators released by the Iowa Department of Revenue shows the state is on the way to recovery. The index showed a major increase for the month of March.
Culver said Monday in Des Moines that his administration has been working with companies large and small through the Department of Economic Development to create the right incentives that attract and retain jobs.
Culver also said that through the Iowa Power Fund, the state is continuing to build the economy of the future by focusing on renewable energy development, which is transforming communities of all sizes.
