Objectives
The Council's mission is to promote the development and redevelopment of residential, commercial and industrial land in the area in accordance with sound economic planning, land development and environmental policies. Our goals are to improve the climate for real estate development in Iowa, expand the education and knowledge of industry members and better the quality of real estate development work.
Chief among the Developers' Council's objectives are to:
- Promote sensible regulatory policies and sound land development practices that lead to the creation of safe, affordable and economically feasible residential, commercial and industrial uses of Iowa's land for its citizens.
- Secure better and faster decisions statewide by governmental agencies, boards and commissions that control the use of private land.
- Advocate for court decisions that effectively exercise the judicial powers of supervision over regulatory agencies and strive for a judiciary that remains cognizant of the need to protect the rights of individuals and private property interests, be they homeowners or business entitles.
- Support land use and environmental laws, as well as land acquisition and development financing programs that foster the creation and maintenance of jobs by private businesses.
