The Pella community and the corporation that bears that namesake were featured this week on the cover of one of the four national newspapers of record. A feature was written in The Wall Street Journal about Pella’s development growth, fueled by approximately $30 million dollars of investments made by organizations affiliated with Pella Corporation and its shareholder family.

The article highlighted the ongoing challenges of the available local labor pool and child care availability, and how the Pella City Council has worked with Pella Corporation and others to expand housing and amenities to help with growth.
