Welcome
Small Businesses across America are the lifeblood of communities. We are so thankful for the businesses we have here in Belle Plaine and we gladly ask for more to join our community. Our partnerships with the City of Belle Plaine and Benton County have served us well over the years and we want to do everything in our power to continue to grow our community as we move into the new generation of small businesses.
In this section of the site we want to keep our business owners or potential business owners informed of real estate space available for rent or purchase, give them a place where they can post jobs for applicants to find, provide resources for them to take advantage of to better run their businesses, provide demographic information so you can run your business more efficiently, and give you all the details of grant opportunities or incentives available to you as a business owner.
Thanks again for spending some time with us and have a great day. We will be seeing you around!
