Eldora's Drive to Attract Industry Yields 1959 Milestones
A comprehensive 1957 1958 program built a welcoming climate for industry in Eldora Iowa, led by an Industrial Development Corporation. Key steps included rose campaigns, Pine Lake improvements, freight service, a new pool and housing, an Air Force training center, and a thriving salesmen network. In 1959 Prima Foods and Prime seed corn plans, plus 36 acres for an industrial park, marked a turning point. A Northrup King expansion was announced for 1960, signaling ongoing growth.
