  4. 100 YEARS LATER • NEW TECHNOLOGIES ARE CREATED • ESTABLISHED COMPANIES CHANGE • NEW COMPANIES EMERGE • THE AREA BECOMES MORE DIVERSE • MARSHALLTOWN & MARSHALL COUNTY COMPETE IN A GLOBAL ECONOMY

  5. IN 2003 THE LOCAL ECONOMY PRODUCED GOODS AND SERVICES WORTH $6.7 BILLION! LOCAL BUSINESSES & INSTITUTIONS PURCHASED GOODS & SERVICES WORTH NEARLY $1.2 BILLION FROM OUT-OF-AREA SUPPLIERS *David Swenson, Department of Economics, Iowa State University

  6. WHAT IF? SOME OF THESE OUT-OF-AREA PURCHASES COULD STAY IN MARSHALL COUNTY?

  7. “BUYING IN” A LITTLE MEANS BUILDING AND GROWING A LOT WE UNDERSTAND THAT OUR AREA CANNOT PROVIDE 100% OF ALL GOODS AND SERVICES THAT ARE NEEDED AND REQUIRED FOR BUSINESSES, INSTITUTIONS AND GOVERNMENTS. BUT WE ALSO KNOW THAT A SMALL SHIFT HAS A HUGE IMPACT.

  8. IN FACT, SHIFTING JUST 5% OF THE OUT-OF-AREA GOODS AND SERVICESFROM THE INDUSTRIAL SECTOR ALONE ADDS UP TO $18.75 MILLION IN NEW DOLLARS FOR MARSHALL COUNTY! *David Swenson, Department of Economics, Iowa State University

  9. $18.75 MILLION TO HELP GROW JOBS AND BUILD BUSINESSES LOCALLY • THE DIRECT ECONOMIC IMPACT WOULD BE: • $7.7 MILLION MORE IN LOCAL WAGES • 226 NEW LOCAL JOBS • *David Swenson Department of Economics, Iowa State University

  10. WHEN LOCAL BUSINESSES BUY FROM EACH OTHER IT BUILDS A STRONG LOCAL ECONOMY

  11. “Raymon-Donco partners locally with Ryerson, Morgan-Hauser Steel, Gervich and Sons, Marshalltown Packaging/H & J Pallet, PCA, Diamond Vogel Paints and twenty-two other material suppliers. Over 90% of the materials used in our manufacturing process are provided by these Marshalltown vendors. Raymon-Donco supplies HVAC products for commercial buildings in the United States. Our industry is very competitive and requires very short manufacturing cycle time. Our local vendors meet or exceed Midwest competitive pricing and provide unparalleled service. They are essential to our success.” Larry A. Raymon, CEO Raymon-Donco
