INTRODUCTION The City of Newton invites you to get to know Newton. “Get to Know Newton” is more than just a new logo; it is a new way to talk about Newton, Iowa. In many ways, Newton is typical of small, rural America. Newton is located right off Interstate 80, just 35 minutes from Des Moines — Iowa’s state capital. The population of Newton is nearly 16,000 and the town’s residents enjoy a high quality of life with admirable community amenities; including numerous parks with sporting complexes, stateof-the-art medical facilities, excellent schools and a community college. We have a charming town square, bike trails and a thriving arts community. Newton certainly has something for everyone. Our efforts as a community have not gone unnoticed as Newton received several awards and designations in 2015, including Peoples All Star Community from the Iowa League of Cities, “Project of the Year” for implementing Newton’s Future from the Iowa City Managers Association, and being designated as one of the “Top Ten Affordable Small Towns Where You’d Actually Want To Live,” by Realtor.com. If you’re new to town, we invite you to “Get to Know Newton.” If you’re a lifelong resident, we challenge you to “Get to Know Newton” again.

When you live in Newton, you don’t have to travel far for entertainment. The Iowa Speedway has the biggest, fastest races in Iowa. The Valle Drive-in Movie Theater is one of the four operating drive-in theaters in the state. At Historic Maytag Park, you can catch musical acts, take a dip in the Maytag Pool or get fit on the hike and bike trail. The Newton Community Theatre produces at least four shows a year, including comedies, musicals and classics. Not satisfied? We’re located only 30 minutes from entertainment venues in downtown Des Moines. Still not satisfied? We’re only an hour from Iowa City and Ames. When it comes to entertainment – if we don’t have it, we’re not far from it. If you’re considering Newton as a place to raise a family, there isn’t a better option. Newton public schools offer the extracurricular opportunities of a large district, but the

class sizes and personalized care of a small one. Through a partnership with DMACC, students can earn college credits by taking dual credit classes while still in high school. Newton schools offer a wide variety of extracurricular activities, and class sizes are small enough that students have the opportunity to participate in many activities. There is a private parochial school located in Newton as well. Many say that the best way to “Get to Know Newton” is by getting active in the community. Love art? Get involved with the Centre for Arts and Artists. Love school pride? Get involved with the Newton Booster Club or PTA. Love fitness? Get involved with the YMCA or Anytime Fitness. Don’t know where to start? Get connected with local volunteer activities at getconnected.unitedwayofjaspercounty.org. Some fear that in order to receive the benefits of a smaller community, such as a neighborly spirit and the ability to make a difference, you have to give up the convenience that comes with living in a larger city, but that’s not the case in Newton. Newton is home to two 24-hour stores, a 24-hour fitness facility, and several medical providers, including Skiff Medical Center.

Newton stands as not only a great place to live, but also a great place to visit. This vibrant city affords a peaceful, smaller-town lifestyle, while offering all the resources one may find in a bigger city. Welcome to Newton! ■

Business and

INDUSTRY Business and industry in Newton can be traced back to 1893 when Fred L. Maytag and a group of entrepreneurs went into business producing a safer threshing machine feeder. By 1902, the company was the largest feeder manufacturer in the world. In 1905, manufacturing expanded to include automobiles, corn huskers and, eventually, washing machines. At its peak in the mid-1900s, Maytag Corporation employed more 3,500 people locally and more than 29,000 worldwide. On March 29, 2006, federal regulators approved the sale of Maytag to Whirlpool Corporation. Shortly thereafter, Whirlpool announced the closing of the Maytag Corporate Headquarters,

resulting in a complete pullout of a Maytag/Whirlpool presence in Newton. Since 2008, Newton has attracted 15 new companies to the community. TPI Composites opened a 335,000-square-foot facility to make wind turbines. Trinity Structural Towers opened a renovated portion of the former Maytag manufacturing plant and started making towers for the wind industry. Combined, these and other new to Newton companies, created 1,850 new jobs. In the past 10 years, over 95 million dollars has been invested in urban renewal projects and commercial and industrial development. â&#x2020;&#x2019;

Newton

MAIN STREET Newton Main Street is an independent, 501(c)3 nonprofit downtown revitalization organization. Newton Main Street’s downtown revitalization strategy focuses on economic development through historic preservation. In Newton, the work of the Main Street program is geographically confined to the Newton Main Street District, which covers most of the Newton downtown area (from West 4th Street to East 4th Street, and from South 2nd Avenue to North 3rd Avenue). Newton became a Main Street community in the spring of 2014, after years of building the foundation for the program. Newton Main Street is one of many Main Street communities across the United States and one of 53 Main Street communities in Iowa. All Iowa Main Street communities are affiliated with Main Street Iowa, a division of the Iowa Economic Development Authority. Newton Main Street has earned National Main Street Center accreditation each year since its inception. Newton Main Street’s entire budget consists of donations from individuals, businesses and civic entities, which fund program activities, administration and one full-time director. Otherwise, Newton Main Street is a volunteer-driven organization – volunteers comprise the board of directors and four Main Street committees, which have the responsibility of planning, organizing and completing Newton Main Street’s revitalization projects. That is to say, Newton Main Street is in every way a true community-based organization. Newton Main Street’s revitalization strategy revolves around implementation of the Main Street four-point approach: economic restructuring, promotion, organization and design. The four-point approach stresses incremental progress toward reaching larger goals.

Design improves the Main Street District’s physical elements and creates a safe, inviting environment for shoppers, workers and visitors. Activities include assisting with planning renovations of historic buildings and public space improvements, developing sensitive design management practices, educating business and property owners about design quality and emphasizing the economic impact of historic preservation. Organization oversees internal program functions and keep stakeholders and the community informed and engaged. The committee raises money for activities and program administration, devises a communications strategy, budgets and manages program finances and recruits and retains volunteers. Newton Main Street’s successful projects include: a $75,000.00 Challenge Grant awarded from Main Street Iowa to restore the former Maytag Hotel Ballroom; returned the farmers market to the downtown; received a $15,000.00 technical assistance grant to complete the Downtown Market Analysis project; worked with city staff to install a pocket park and sidewalk connection to the public library; held a commercial space open house, Second-Story Tour, Magnetic Main Street Fundraiser and a Shop Small Holiday retail promotion; hosted a downtown mini golf tournament, downtown trick-or-treat and Cash Mobs, to name just a few. Newton Main Street will undoubtedly have much more in store for the Historic Downtown Main Street area in the coming future! ■

www.experiencenewton.com

Economic restructuring attains an in-depth understanding of the Main Street District’s economic condition, works to retain and expand existing businesses in an effort to offer a balanced commercial mix, recruits new businesses the market can support, works to convert underused commercial space into economically productive property and builds a commercial district that responds to the needs of today’s consumers.

Promotion markets the Main Street District as the center of commerce, culture and community life for residents and visitors alike. The committee creates image development campaigns, retail promotions and special events with the main goal of bringing more people to the Main Street District.

EDUCATION

Photo by John Lee Photography

Education has been a significant part of Newton since its beginnings in the 1850s. A host of childcare facilities, several schools in the Newton Community School District, one private parochial school and nearby higher education institutions provide outstanding education to students of the Greater Newton area. Several childcare centers are located in Newton, offering services for infants through 12 years of age. These facilities include the YMCA Child Care Center and Peck Child Development Center. For parents and students interested in receiving a private education, Newton Christian School provides educational instruction for kindergarten through eighth grades. It offers a small-school environment characterized by strong personal bonds, meaningful parent involvement, high-quality curriculum and instruction, and accountability for both staff and students. These key factors combine to create a culture of caring and rigor focused on hard work, high aspirations, and an expectation that every student will succeed. Newton Christian School’s motto, “Training to a Higher Standard”, is the guiding principle of the education provided.

Higher learning can be found within the Newton community, with the esteemed institutions of Des Moines Area Community College and Buena Vista University offering top-rate academic programs to local students. Students of all ages and academic backgrounds attend the Newton Campus of Des Moines Area Community College
