Emma Peebles
Executive Director
Hello, neighbors! My name is Emma Peebles, and I am honored to serve as your new Belle Plaine Community Development Executive Director.
I am originally from Des Moines and my husband from Bratt, Florida, but my family and I spent several years living in different states due to my husband’s career in welding. During that time we experienced life in a handful of places before we decided to settle down here in Belle Plaine. We moved here from Flomaton, Alabama in July 2022, where we ran a small business that focused on my husband’s love of motorsports through custom designed aftermarket parts.
My husband and I have three wonderful children: Braiden, 14; Henley, 8; and Rhett, 6. During our years of travel, I was a stay-at-home mom, dedicating my time to supporting my children as they grew. Now I’m excited to transition into this new role and contribute to the community that has embraced us so warmly.
As your BPCDC Executive Director, my goal is to continue fostering a sense of togetherness and support in our town. I’m committed to listening to your ideas, working on initiatives that strengthen our community, and ensuring that our great town flourishes to where everyone can connect and grow. Whether it’s improving local programs or finding new ways to bring us all together, I’m excited to serve and collaborate with each of you. Please don’t hesitate to reach out to share your thoughts or just to say hello — I look forward to getting to know you better as we work together to make our town an even better place to live, work, and enjoy life.
