HOME SWEET HOME 🏠 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ A

HOME SWEET HOME 🏠
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
At the PACE Alliance, we regularly give tours of #Pella to individuals and couples who are interviewing locally and seriously considering #relocating here.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
During the hour-long drive around the area, we point out significant buildings, businesses, and aspects of our town that make us unique. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Like our busy downtown #boutiqueshopping, Dutch architecture and heritage, top-rated schools and hospital, 🌷Tulip Time🌷, summer activities (Thursdays in Pella, Balloon Fest in July, Fridays on the Canal), and all the manufacturers who employ so many people in the area.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The lake is typically a highlight with great recreational activities so close to town - boating, camping, trails, biking, hunting, fishing, sailing, paddle boarding, canoeing, and kayaking. 🚣🏽‍♂️🚴🏽‍♂️🎣
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We also get the inside scoop and hear honestly what people think of our #Dutch community.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
👉🏼Here are a few things they say:
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
"Pella is so charming and so CLEAN!"
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
"There is more to do around Pella than we thought!"
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
"When so many small towns seem to be dying, Pella seems to be thriving." ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
“Pella has a small-town feel with big-town amenities!"
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
They always react when we tell them that our average ACT scores at both the private and public schools are 24-25 with the national average being 21.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Many times they ask if Pella is growing. And fortunately, we can say 'YES'! With our vibrant downtown area and expanding housing developments, we are definitely poised for even more growth.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So, if you're considering a move in the future, we invite you to check out Pella, Iowa. A charming, clean, thriving community with lots to do just 45 minutes southeast of Des Moines.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Let's start a new #weddingflower trend right here in #Pella!

There is no elevator to success, you have to take the stairs.

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If you're thinking of bringing your business to Pella, we're here to help! At the @pacealliance we understand there's so much more behind-the-scenes work that needs to be done before planning your grand opening.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
👉🏼Here are a few things to consider:
1. Putting together a business plan can be the difference between having an idea or having an idea that will work in Pella! We partner with the SBDC to help you understand if the community has a need for your business idea, who the competition is, and help you put together a financial plan.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
2. Location. Location. Location. Finding an ideal location is key to attracting the traffic you'll need to launch and grow quickly. Another important factor is knowing if the location you're looking at is zoned for your type of business. *Find this out FIRST!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
3. Don't waste money on redesigning your storefront signage by checking with the city BEFORE you start. This is a common mistake that unnecessarily eats up valuable start-up money!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So, before you start climbing those stairs to success, reach out to us at the PACE Alliance. We want to be a resource for you to take that next step in starting a business.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
P.S. Through the 5 Councils that make up the PACE Alliance, we offer marketing #workshops to our members because we want you to succeed 🙌🏼

Makers On Main🔹Gifts Locally Made
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
What do Jill Edwards, Meg McGhee and Michelle Frederick have in common? They’ve teamed up to offer local “makers” a great place to sell they’re crafts!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Dutch Greeters welcomed them to #Pella and got some really great ideas for one-of-a-kind Valentine’s Day gifts ❤️
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
They’re located in the old City Hall building with the dogs out front, so stop into Makers On Main.

We invited Becky Ochsner to set up her photography studio in the @pacealliance office to get to know her and really see what she sees behind her lens. From farm scenes to family portraits, Becky's goal is to capture moments that look honest and effortless. 📷
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Since beginning @beckyoxphoto in 2011, she has been passionate about creating finished portraits for client homes that inspire gratitude and hope.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Help us welcome Becky to the community 🙌🏼
