The Panora and Lake Panorama Area Economic Development group serves as the principal economic development organization in the Panora and Lake Panorama area. Its roots in Panora can be traced to the 1980s, beginning as an informal group of business leaders looking to attract, support and grow area businesses and promote housing. Today, the organization is comprised of business and community leaders from Panora, Lake Panorama and surrounding areas.
