THE MODEL

A Local Investment Engine for a Better Fort Dodge

The Better Way Project isn’t charity — it’s strategy. It’s a self-sustaining model that empowers locals to take ownership of their future by investing in the place they call home.

Local Dollars, Local Decisions

Residents and supporters come together through the 2521 Investment Group to acquire, renovate, and manage key properties across Fort Dodge. These aren’t just real estate plays — they’re long-term commitments to shaping a community that reflects the values we share.

Built to Serve

Each space is intentionally developed to support the things that matter most:

• Family and child-friendly environments
• Food and wellness access
• Safe, sustainable neighborhoods
• Local businesses and entrepreneurship
• Walkable, livable design

These aren’t national chains or cookie-cutter plans. They’re custom-built solutions, shaped by and for the people of Fort Dodge.

Returns That Stay Home

Investors receive returns — not just financially, but socially. Profits cycle back into the community, creating more opportunities, more growth, and more momentum. This is how we build wealth, wellness, and a shared future — from the ground up.

A Blueprint for the Bold

What starts in Fort Dodge can become a national model. When communities invest in themselves, they become unstoppable. This is how we take control of our future — one block, one building, one bold move at a time.
