WDM housing development could bring 2,200 homes

A new housing development could bring 2,200 homes to the western side of West Des Moines . Why it matters: The Trail West project will bring more housing and pricing options to the growing western suburbs. The big picture: The development would add to a growing stretch of western West Des Moines, near other major projects, including the planned Grand Experience and MidAmerican Energy RecPlex expansion, says West Des Moines economic development director Ryan Moffatt. State of play: Caliber Homes and Jerry's Homes are partnering to develop about 300 acres of farmland north of Booneville Road and west of Grand Prairie Parkway. The total project could reach around 760 acres. Zoom in: The first phase includes 130 single-family home lots. The number of phases is not yet known, and the project could take 10 to 15 years to build out. Caliber would focus on homes ranging from $800,000 to $3 million, while Jerry's Homes would offer lower-priced options. Jerry's Homes did not immediately respond to Axios' request for comment. The development could eventually include townhomes, apartments, rental condos and neighborhood-scale retail. It's an urban area with a "country aesthetic" with rolling hills and tree-lined waterways, Ryan Kauffman of Caliber Homes

First bite: East Meets West

👋 Jason here: I was excited when I found out the former Motley School Tavern (MST) space in Beaverdale is now a new Asian-American restaurant. Driving the news: East Meets West Kitchen & Bar opened last week. Catch up quick: Owners and married couple Emily and Chao Lin closed MST in September to evaluate their next steps. Their new restaurant and menu give a nod to American comfort food and to China, where Chao grew up and where the couple met. The garlic-lime shrimp lettuce cups. Photo: Jason Clayworth/Axios On my plate: The garlic-lime shrimp lettuce cups, one of the restaurant's house specialties ($23). The plump, juicy shrimp in a buttery sauce, paired with savory fried rice and crisp, refreshing lettuce for a delicious contrast. The meal started with complimentary crab Rangoon. Zoom in: Other menu options include Korean crispy chicken, pork banh mi, wings, burgers and weekend brunch.

Des Moines' former giant garden trowel sculpture reappears in Russia

When People Inc. said it had sold a world-record-holding sculpture of a giant garden trowel on its Des Moines corporate campus to an "out-of-state buyer," it may have been a bit of an understatement. People Inc. declined to specify who bought the sculpture, titled "Plantoir," by renowned husband-and-wife artists Claes Oldenburg and Coosje van Bruggen. "The sale was completed with an out-of-state buyer that made a significant offer for the piece. We agreed to the sale only after offering the piece to local organizations," the company said in a August 2025 statement. The statement did not identify the Iowa institutions it contacted. Now, a little more than a year after the sculpture was removed from the company's lawn in downtown Des Moines' Western Gateway, it is on display more than 5,000 miles away — in Moscow, front and center at GES-2 House of Culture. The remodeled former power plant in the shadow of the Kremlin is home to internationally sanctioned Russian oligarch's arts foundation — a site for "Plantoir" that the daughter of the late Oldenburg and van Bruggen says leaves her "positively appalled." In an October 2025 news release announcing the installation of the sculpture at its facility, GES-2

Iowa law fuels LifeWise Academy growth, including in Des Moines metro

A Christian religious education program is expanding its reach in Iowa, including in the Des Moines metro area. LifeWise Academy first came to Iowa in 2022. A 2025 state law that allows public school students to be excused from school to attend religious instruction courses for up to five hours a week boosted interest and helped LifeWise expand to 37 schools across 24 districts. Students were allowed to leave school for religious instruction before Iowa's law took effect. A 1952 U.S. Supreme Court ruling permits students to leave school for religious instruction if the program is privately funded, held off school grounds, is voluntary, and if parents or guardians give consent. LifeWise Academy meets those requirements, but the Iowa law provided clarity for communities that were interested in joining the program, said Sarah Buzynski, LifeWise's Iowa director. The academy began in rural Ohio in 2019 and now has chapters in more than 1,000 communities across the United States. To start a LifeWise chapter, community members must gather signatures, raise money and form a leadership team, and get permission from a school. Interested students can enroll in weekly instruction during times that do not interfere with core classes, such as lunch,
