Sincerely, Darrell Sarmento Executive Director Greater Newton Area Chamber of Commerce The City of Newton invites you to experience all it has to offer. From a variety of attractions, entertainment, shopping venues, dining establishments and recreational opportunities, Newton certainly has something for everyone. In addition to these great aspects of Newton, the area has excellent educational and healthcare facilities.

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, KinderCare Learning Center and Peck Child Development Center. The Newton Community School District consists of Newton Senior High School for grades nine through 12 and B.C. Berg Middle School for students in seventh and eighth grades.

With small class sizes, personalized attention from faculty and staff and a friendly learning environment, the Newton Campus of DMACC makes learning accessible to all. In August of 2002, the Buena Vista University Newton Center opened its doors on the Newton Polytechnic Campus in partnership with the Des Moines Area Community College (DMACC). Since the Center’s inception, enrollments have increased every year. More local students are taking advantage of the opportunity to complete their bachelor’s degree without having to travel far from home.

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. Change had come to town. But that change did not have to mean defeat. With assistance from federal, state and local governments, Newton community leaders and citizens went to work to attract new businesses and industry to Newton. On Sept. 15, 2006, the first race was held at the new $70 million Iowa Speedway, a 7/8th-mile track designed by former NASCAR Champion Rusty Wallace. In 2009 and 2010, the Iowa Speedway attracted more than 260,000 racing fans to their events. In September 2008, TPI Composites opened a new 335,000-square-foot facility to make wind turbines, with a pledge to employ a least 500 by 2010. A few weeks later, Trinity Structural Towers opened a renovated portion of the former Maytag manufacturing plant and started making towers for the wind industry. Today that company occupies more than 300,000 square feet in the facility and employs 150. Caleris, an information technology and outsourcing firm, opened their largest facility in a portion of the former Maytag Corporate office building, employing 150 with hopes of doubling that in the near future. Springboard Engineering, an entrepreneurial start-up company created by 50 former Maytag R&D staff, provides product development, prototyping and testing services for companies in the U.S. and internationally. By the fall of 2008, nearly 1,000 new jobs had been created in Newton. 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, state-of-the-art medical facilities, excellent schools and a community college. As we continue our transformation we look at our community vision for guidance: “Newton aspires to become a center of excellence with world-class education, technology, research and development, and an innate culture of entrepreneurship. We seek to embrace and support diverse businesses and create enterprises that will put Newton on the map as a quality community of choice. We strive to create systems that fuel the world with renewable energy, and we desire to celebrate our gourmet foods that are premium, natural and high in value. We wish to epitomize the quality of the community-smart, innovative, safe, fun and cool. We aim to be the center for festivals and events that celebrate the arts and culture. Newton will exemplify the positive smalltown feel where rewarding opportunities enrich the lives of us all.” The best care is close to home. When people are seeking healthcare, they shouldn’t have to choose between quality and accessibility. Those who live in Newton and Jasper County do not have to make that choice, because the best care is close to home. Skiff Medical Center is the heart of the healthcare community in Newton, having served as the hometown hospital since 1921. The city-owned hospital provides services to Jasper County residents in all major health areas, including general surgery, orthopedic surgery, radiology, obstetrics, emergency medicine, hospice, home care, laboratory, respiratory, audiology, physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy and massage therapy. The Skiff Specialty Clinic hosts more than 20 physicians specializing in cardiology, dermatology, ENT, gastroenterology, nephrology, neurology, oncology, pulmonology and urology. Skiff also serves the nearby communities of Baxter, Colfax and Monroe through freestanding medical clinics. From chemotherapy to kidney dialysis, wound care to infusion therapy, Skiff provides state-of-the-art treatments for residents, eliminating the need to drive long distances for care. Skiff enjoys close partnership with many area providers, including the physicians of Newton Clinic, an independent, multi-specialty practice. Their 15 providers offer healthcare services in the areas of family medicine, obstetrics, gynecology, internal medicine and podiatry. Newton Clinic physicians offer 24/7 on-call coverage. Newton Clinic is owned by member physicians and employs about 60 full-time staff members. The 17,000- square-foot facility, located in the Ross Medical Arts Building, includes a full-service laboratory, full-service X-ray department, obstetric ultrasound unit, fetal non-stress testing unit, video flexible sigmoidoscope unit, treadmill, and three surgical procedure/casting rooms. The physicians of the Newton Clinic primarily admit patients to Skiff Medical Center. Newton and Jasper County are also home to a host of other health care practitioners, including chiropractors, dentists, pharmacists, optometrists and orthodontists.In addition, when seniors in Jasper County are no longer comfortable living alone in their own home, they have a wide variety of options available to them in Newton and surrounding areas, including independent living facilities, nursing homes and assisted living complexes. When area residents want leading-edge medical services combined with personal, compassionate care, they need look no farther than their own hometown. The Newton government continuously advocates for a high quality of life for its residents through an array of programs, economic and residential development and more. The mayor of Newton is elected into a two-year term, while the six City Council members are elected into four-year terms. The City Council consists of one member from each of Newton’s four wards and two selected at-large. The council meets every first and third Monday of each month at City Hall. Additionally, the government promotes safety throughout the city. Twenty-four sworn officers and a fivemember staff make up the Newton Police Department, while 22 full-time firefighters at one location in Newton serve as the Newton Fire Department.
