What happened
Jake Buchanan's department studied the economic model of Stanton, a community in southwest Iowa, following a suggestion from John Hall. Stanton invested approximately $39 million in under a decade into projects such as a fiber-to-the-home broadband network and a community wellness center.

Why it matters
Stanton achieved its community investments by layering multiple funding sources, including federal and state grants, utility investment, and local fundraising, rather than relying on a single large benefactor. The local economic development department viewed Stanton as a learning opportunity regarding community investment strategies.
