Economic Development in the Oskaloosa Area
Oskaloosa is the county seat of Mahaska County
and is situated at the apex of four arterial
highways. Long known as a regional retail center,
Oskaloosa has developed its retail sector to a
level that would normally be found in a city
twice its size. The Oskaloosa area's industrial
base is surprisingly diversified. Over 30 firms
produce such diverse products as pneumatic
fastening devices, high fructose corn syrup, feed
conveyance systems, fire hydrants and water
valves, small hand tools and instruments,
hydrostatic drives, soft drinks and bottled
water, processed egg products, and feed
additives. Other area firms publish concert band
and orchestral music or supply temporary, mobile
lighting systems for athletic events, motion
pictures, and special events. Oskaloosa and
Mahaska County citizens enjoy a superb quality of
life. Three fine higher education facilities,
William Penn University, Vennard College, and a
satillite Indian Hills Community College, provide
the area with numerous cultural opportunities,
diverse educational resources, and a wide variety
of athletic events. An excellent primary and
secondary school system is well-equipped and the
facilities are first-rate. The Mahaska Hospital
is a 77-bed hospital with 27 physicians
(including 15 specialists) serving Oskaloosa,
Eddyville and the surrounding area.
