SCIAP, the South Central Iowa Area Partnership, will be teaming up with Terrible's Casino once again for the third annual SCIAP Poker Run on July 11th...that's 7-11!

The Grand Prize will once again be a vacation for two in Vegas, courtesy of Terrible's!
$10 per hand registration with proceeds going to Operation First Response. Come join us for a fun ride through the rolling hills of Southern Iowa, and relax afterwards at a reception at Terrible's--with food, fun and lots of prize drawings!

In South Central Iowa you will find opportunities for business, employment and recreation. From Economic Development to Agri Business to Entrepreneurial Support, if you are looking to start, expand or locate a business you will find the climate is right in South Central Iowa. Located just minutes from major population centers, you will find the quality of life and work of a rural setting.

Enough talk about work already! Take a tour of our "Experience the Fun"  portal and you will find more fun things to do in a weekend than you can probably get done in a summer! From Farmers Markets on our historic Town Squares to old fashioned Fourth of July Celebrations, the fun never ends. If you enjoy gaming, you should visit Terrible’s Lakeside Casino. If it is fishing, then you should go to Three Mile Lake. You can trace the historic Mormon Trail or tour the historic Bridges of Madison County. From Civil War re-enactments to the National Skillet Throw, it is all here!

Welcome to South Central Iowa. Get out of the car and Experience the Legacy!
