Economic Development
Clive is a forward-thinking community with outstanding municipal services and scenic natural beauty that offers ultimate convenience for a balanced lifestyle and future progress. The City of Clive's Economic Development Program looks to leverage these important aspects of the community to attract and retain a qualified workforce and recruit business partners to bolster the Clive economy. The high quality of life and great amenities provided by the City of Clive are key to why businesses want to locate to Clive and have their employees live in our great community.
Forward Thinking
Clive is "forward thinking" in its efforts to improve the City's infrastructure and remains committed to environmental stewardship.
Outstanding Muncipal Services
Clive strices to provide strong, varied services at a level not found in all communities without higher taxes.
Scenic Natural Beauty
One of the most powerful competitive differentiators in Clive is the amazing green space, including intertwining parks, trails, streams and wildlife that make the natural environment accessible to all.
Ultimate Convenience
The convenience provided by the City of Clive goes far beyond a great central location. Accessibility to city leadership, programs and servies creates the "ultimate" convenience for both residents and businesses.
Balanced Lifestyle
Citizens tout the high-quality of life they enjoy, which provides an optimal balance of live, work and play. A key to attracting a talented workforce.
Future Progress
The City's physical boundaries do not limit future growth, as evidenced by current and planned projects.
