The mission of the Story City Greater Chamber Connection is to serve as a catalyst for plans, strategies, programs, and services that promote growth in our historic downtown district and surrounding businesses resulting in the best community in which to live, work, and do business.

As a volunteer organization, the Story City Greater Chamber Connection offers quality events that highlight the assets of the community and enhance the quality of life for its residents and visitors. Distinguishing characteristics include Story City’s historic downtown district, the 1913 antique carousel and the 1936 swinging bridge. These unique features are incorporated into special gatherings and traditions to give families and friends of all ages an opportunity to enjoy the best of small town life.

With a strong economy and preservation ethic, Story City continues to be a progressive and vibrant community drawing on the resources available as a verified Iowa Main Street Community. The Story City GCC promotes and encourages – with the aid of its partners – a quality mix of retailers, restaurants, service businesses and industry to provide for the community and complement the exceptional school system, welcoming churches, dynamic employment market, beautiful surroundings, and diverse recreational opportunities.

The Story City GCC assists with the management of growth and opportunity while serving as the communications hub for area activities. The entire community will continue to share in a sense of accomplishment and well-being knowing that Story City is a better place to live, work, and do business. The Story City GCC invites everyone to come see what we’re all about.
