The Marshalltown area will be seeing residential development trends in the next year to a year and a half. David Barajas Junior, Chief Executive Officer of the Marshalltown Regional Partnership says thanks to partnerships that have been fostered, the trends have and will be visible around the city. Trends which bode well for continued economic development. Barajas Junior says Marshalltown must continue to bank upon its location in the midst of many areas of Iowa as a branding tool for attracting development and activity to the area.
