• Tax benefits and economic growth

• A stronger outlook for Brooklyn’s future

Brooklyn Community Development is an Iowa nonprofit corporation pursuant to Chapter 504 of the Code of Iowa.

Brooklyn Community Development will serve to encourage economic development, and promote the arts and the social welfare of the community it serves.
