Sen. Ernst Names Olson Iron Works Of Greene County Her Small Business Of The Week

U.S. Sen. Joni Ernst (R-Iowa) has named Greene County’s Olson Iron Works her Small Business of the Week, recognizing its growth and support for veterans and first responders. Owner Shane Olson established the business in 2012 after his wife, Alisa, encouraged him to turn his welding and fabrication skills into a commercial venture. He bought and remodeled an old barn to launch the part-time operation. The business has since become his full-time profession and grown into a 14,000-square-foot shop. Olson learned welding from his father and shop teacher before enlisting in the Marine Corps at 17. After returning to Iowa, he joined the Iowa Air National Guard as a firefighter. The business regularly makes and donates metal flags honoring deceased veterans and fallen first responders. Ernst says, “For the past 14 years, Olson Iron Works has forged its way to success by serving its fellow Iowans and the greater community. Olson Iron Works has welded such strong relationships with its customers that 80 percent of them are repeat buyers.” Ernst, who chairs the Senate Small Business Committee, recognizes a small business from each of Iowa’s 99 counties each week.

Economic development officials in Ottumwa are dealing with the recent announcement that John Deere will close its factory there and consolidate its operations in Des Moines and Louisiana

Economic development officials in Ottumwa are dealing with the recent announcement that John Deere will close its factory there and consolidate its operations in Des Moines and Louisiana. Greater Ottumwa Partners in Progress executive director Marc Roe says within hours of last Tuesday’s announcement, he began collaborating with Iowa Workforce Development and Indian Hills Community College to brainstorm how to retrain and retain those workers. “Ottumwa, any community isn’t about one business. It’s going to change our landscape for sure, but, you know, it doesn’t have to determine the future of the community. That’s up to us to do,” Roe says. John Deere will leave about 400 people out of jobs, in addition to an abandoned industrial complex in the middle of Ottumwa. Roe hopes to attract new manufacturing, retrain local employees through workforce development or the local community college, and find new ways to retain families who are building businesses or going to school in Ottumwa.

WDM housing development could bring 2,200 homes

A new housing development could bring 2,200 homes to the western side of West Des Moines . Why it matters: The Trail West project will bring more housing and pricing options to the growing western suburbs. The big picture: The development would add to a growing stretch of western West Des Moines, near other major projects, including the planned Grand Experience and MidAmerican Energy RecPlex expansion, says West Des Moines economic development director Ryan Moffatt. State of play: Caliber Homes and Jerry's Homes are partnering to develop about 300 acres of farmland north of Booneville Road and west of Grand Prairie Parkway. The total project could reach around 760 acres. Zoom in: The first phase includes 130 single-family home lots. The number of phases is not yet known, and the project could take 10 to 15 years to build out. Caliber would focus on homes ranging from $800,000 to $3 million, while Jerry's Homes would offer lower-priced options. Jerry's Homes did not immediately respond to Axios' request for comment. The development could eventually include townhomes, apartments, rental condos and neighborhood-scale retail. It's an urban area with a "country aesthetic" with rolling hills and tree-lined waterways, Ryan Kauffman of Caliber Homes

Dallas County, Iowa flips blue after longtime GOP dominance

Dallas County, the Midwest's fastest-growing county , swung left in the midterms, breaking a decades-long Republican voting streak in gubernatorial and congressional elections since 2008. Why it matters: The booming Des Moines metro county is adding thousands of voters annually to its suburbs, making its changing political makeup increasingly important to candidates. By the numbers: Dallas County backed President Trump in 2024 but gave Democrat Rob Sand 59% of the vote last Tuesday. Before this election, Dallas County last backed a Democrat in a gubernatorial race in 2002, with Tom Vilsack, and in a federal race in 2008, with U.S. Sen. Tom Harkin. It also supported Democrat Sarah Trone Garriott and gave Democrats a 4-1 majority on the county Board of Supervisors, after recently adding two seats. The big picture: President Trump's rhetoric and policies on immigration, tariffs and the war in Iran may have alienated some of the county's college-educated suburban voters, says Donna Hoffman, a political science professor at the University of Northern Iowa. The county's growth has brought in younger educated professionals, including some who may have traditionally favored Republicans on economic issues. Nationally, the once reliably conservative group of voters has swung in more recent history,
