Steel plant executive offers SE Iowa promises — and hope

FORT MADISON — In a carpeted Quality Inn & Suites conference room, an executive in a navy-blue vest made promises to residents in the southeast corner of Iowa. First, Mesabi Metallics CEO Joe Broking promised the farmers, mechanics, local officials and others gathered there that his company would be transparent. Then, he promised them the world. Broking displayed a rendering of the company's plan: a sprawling industrial campus where employees will melt iron and turn it into rolled steel. He provided a long list of industries that could buy from the plant, from automakers to appliance manufacturers and construction materials suppliers. It will be “the cleanest, most environmentally friendly steel in the world at the lowest cost,” Broking said. “And we can do that right here in the U.S., right here in Iowa.” The promises kept coming. “Your schools are going to improve. Your housing market’s going to improve. Access to community amenities is going to improve,” Broking said. People in the crowd of about 100 whispered among themselves as he went on. “This is absolutely a fantastic opportunity for Mesabi Metallics and a fantastic opportunity for each and every one of you. And I can’t wait to actually come

Iowa Land Records launches free notification system

WEST DES MOINES – For many Iowans, buying a home is one of the biggest investments they will ever make. As awareness of title and identity fraud grows, that investment can feel more vulnerable. Iowa homeowners and business owners are looking for ways to stay informed about transactions that could affect their property. In response, the Iowa County Recorders and Iowa Land Records are introducing the ILR Notification System, a free service that helps Iowans stay informed by monitoring names on recently recorded documents across Iowa. The new service is built on the ILR Search platform , where users can search for public real estate records by name. The ILR Notification System takes the service a step further by enabling users to monitor individual or business names and receive an email notification when a new recording matches the saved Notification Profiles. “Public records have always been an important resource for Iowans. As technology changes, we have new opportunities to make those records work harder for the people we serve. This is a practical example of using our statewide system to respond to what Iowans need today,” said Jammie Hoffman, executive director of Iowa Land Records For homeowners and business owners,

Lindale Mall parent company names new CEO amid turmoil

CEDAR RAPIDS — After corporate and legal turmoil, Lindale Mall’s owner has a new CEO who is pledging to boost performance across the company’s commercial real estate portfolio. Ran Daniel took over in September as chief executive officer and chief financial officer for Kohan Properties Ltd. The move followed the ouster of company namesake Mike Kohan after what The Real Deal, a real estate publication, described as “allegations of secret loans” and “bond misuse.” Kohan Retail Investment Group bought the 732,666-square-foot Lindale Mall for $28.5 million in March 2023 . At the time, The Gazette detailed some of the previous controversies surrounding Kohan. For instance, in May 2023, a mall in Hamburg, New York , was sold for over $7 million in an online auction, according to WGRZ-TV in Buffalo, New York. Kohan had bought the property in foreclosure for $8.5 million in 2021. He owed $176,069 in overdue taxes on the property for 2022. Kohan owed $355,434 in unpaid base taxes in January 2023 and accrued $30,157 in penalties for another property, Central Mall in Port Arthur, Texas, but those taxes were paid in April, according to the Jefferson County Tax Office.
