About Us
Ankeny Economic Development Corporation (AEDC) is a private business organization. AEDC's mission is to support and grow the business community in the area. This mission has remained the same for over 50 years. We are proud to have played a part of making Ankeny the fourth fastest growing community in the nation according to the new Census data released in May 2018. No other communities in the Midwest made the top 15 list.
Ankeny is located at the crossroads of the nation at the intersection of I-35 and I-80. It features the third busiest airport in the state, an abundant talent pool, two colleges within the city limits and four universities within a 25 minute drive. It is a community dedicated to quality of life, education and business success.
All of this combines into a unique mix that is Ankeny. We invite you to explore our vibrant community and discover for yourself why so many businesses select and stay in Ankeny.
