IEDA, IFA Invite Iowans To Join In ‘Give Where You Live’ Week Nov. 15-21

State officials are challenging Iowans to help local food banks and homelessness service providers during the Give Where You Live Week of Action, Nov. 15-21. The Iowa Finance Authority and Iowa Economic Development Authority encourage residents to donate supplies, volunteer, or organize a collection drive, then challenge a friend, business, or community group to participate. Requested items include winter gloves, new socks, and personal care supplies. Participants can share photos or videos using #GiveWhereYouLiveIA, tag the organization they supported, and invite others to contribute. Iowa’s January 2026 Point-in-Time count identified 3,147 people experiencing homelessness, including 748 who were unsheltered. Agency employees will assemble essential supply kits Nov. 16 after hearing from Iowans who have experienced homelessness. The effort coincides with National Hunger & Homelessness Awareness Week and continues through Giving Tuesday, Dec. 1. Existing volunteer projects and donation drives can also join the challenge. Local organizations’ wish lists, requested supplies, and volunteer opportunities are available using the link included with this story on our website.

Mesabi Metallics steel mill gains local Iowa support

A $15 billion Mesabi Metallics steelmaking plant planned in Iowa is moving forward with state and local support. The Iowa Lee County Board of Supervisors has unanimously approved a term sheet with Mesabi Metallics for the company’s proposed steel complex, according to Mesabi Metallics. The county board also passed a resolution supporting the proposed plant, a key requirement for state support, according to Mesabi Metallics. “This is a generational investment in Iowa, and this week’s vote moves it forward,” Joe Broking, Mesabi Metallics chief executive officer said in a news release. “Paired with our nearly $3 billion investment in Minnesota, this project creates a fully integrated American steel supply chain—iron mined and processed in Minnesota, high-quality steel made in Iowa.” The steel mill would be fed with iron produced from direct-reduction ore pellets from the roughly $3 billion Mesabi Metallics mine and processing facility being completed in Nashwauk. Lee County is the furthest southeastern Iowa county. The term sheet agreement with Lee County provides up to $10.5 million in host-community payments from Mesabi Metallics during development and construction of the steel mill to help offset demands on county services, according to Mesabi Metallics. It also guarantees at least $112 million

RAGBRAI 2027 registration opens with new options

Registration is open for RAGBRAI 2027, the 54th edition of the Register's Annual Great Bicycle Ride Across Iowa, with organizers introducing changes they expect will please riders.

The other is a payment plan for those who can't, or prefer not to, pay the entire amount up front. Both will be available at no additional cost to riders when registration opens Sunday, Nov. 15. The options are possible because RAGBRAI is switching to a new and more versatile online platform for registration, RAGBRAI Ride Director Matt Phippen told the Des Moines Register. More: RAGBRAI 2027 logo revealed. What does it tell us about the ride? "It's going to show riders that we are listening and we're taking what you say serious," Phippen said.

Don’t Veer From Deer

Area drivers are always supposed to stay vigilant for hazards but it’s especially important at this time of the year when deer are more active and more plentiful. Dan McGehee, director of the Driving Safety Research Institute at the University of Iowa, says part of the problem is deer have fewer places to hide as the harvest has left most of the state’s cornfields cleaned out. In addition to being more panicked, those deer are frisky.
