ABOUT JEFFERSON
City on the Rise

LOCATION

Jefferson’s location on the intersection of United States Highway 30 and Iowa State Highway 4 in west central Iowa is especially favorable to its current and prospective citizens and businesses. The city benefits from exits on Highway 30 and Highway 4 and is on a Union Pacific railway hub. Jefferson’s proximity to larger cities like Carroll, Boone, Ames and Des Moines means convenient access to a broad array of shopping, cultural and entertainment options. Top quality education and continuing education opportunities, as well as music, theater and public interest programs, are only 45 minutes away at Iowa State University in Ames. Attractive industrial tracts, home building sites, and both new and pre-owned housing, are available at reasonable prices. Land use planning is current and generally permissive. See Map Gallery.
