“The annual ‘All About Greater Fort Dodge’ publication showcases the positive things going on in our community,” he added. “I want to thank the many advertisers who support this magazine. Their investment helps bring this positive message to the community.”

The Growth Alliance recognizes the importance of its partnership with the newspaper, according to Dennis Plautz, the alliance’s chief executive officer.

He has noted that “All About Greater Fort Dodge” is widely distributed.

“We use them a lot,” he said.
