Economic Development
 Welcome to Fremont County where views and opportunities abound.
Fremont County is nestled in the southwest corner of Iowa with easy transportation access to Omaha, Nebraska and Kansas City, Missouri. A ride along Interstate 29 not only brings quick transportation to business destinations but a sense of peace at the beauty in our corner of the state.
Interstate 29, US Highways 59 and 34, Iowa Highway 2, the Missouri River and a main rail line makes transporting goods, both raw and manufactured, cost-effective. When looking for the Midwest work ethic, look no farther than Fremont County, Iowa. Our workforce draws from a three state area (Iowa, Missouri, Nebraska). Partnering with Iowa Western Community College your company can have skilled workers trained for your specific needs.
