Sully

Nestled in the heart of East Central Iowa, Sully is located within 25 minutes of Grinnell, Pella, and Newton and within an hour’s driving distance to Des Moines and Iowa City.

The same pride demonstrated in the quality of work found in the local businesses is evident in the level of education provided for students at Sully’s two top-notch schools. The Lynnville-Sully Community School District offers excellence in public education for students in kindergarten through the twelfth grade. Sully Christian School provides high-quality, private Christian education for children in kindergarten through eighth grade. Inspirations Childcare and Preschool Center and Diamond Trail Children’s Center are also available.

For Businesses

Businesses benefit from Sully’s location, strong workforce, and access to resources like the Sully Revolving Loan Fund program.
