First Impressions

A comprehensive community assessment

Iowa’s First Impressions Community & Tourism Assessment Program launched in 2024 as a partnership between Iowa State University and Travel Iowa.  First Impressions identifies a community’s assets and opportunities through a research-based assessment conducted by a specially trained team.

Five assessment team members visited Webster City and the surrounding area over a four month period from May through August 2025.  This is our final community report.

Enjoy Webster City's small town charm!

Our business community will greet you with a smile and exceed all your expectations!
