Polk County restores 11 streams in $17M water quality push

A $17 million project to repair stream erosion is nearing completion in Polk County. Why it matters: The investment could serve as a blueprint for the rest of the state's waterways if researchers can demonstrate measurable water quality improvements. Catch up quick: Polk County launched the initiative in 2024, with the first restoration projects starting in 2025. It covers 11 stream restoration projects spanning nearly 10 miles in Ankeny, Altoona, Mitchellville, Des Moines and Pleasant Hill. Context: The work comes amid years of water quality concerns , including high nitrate levels that prompted the metro's first mandatory lawn-watering ban in 2025. By the numbers: Costs have fallen by about $4 million from the county's previously reported $21 million estimate, thanks to competitive construction bidding, Polk County water resources supervisor John Swanson tells Axios. Six projects are complete, two are expected to finish in November, and three are scheduled for completion in spring 2027. Before-and-after photos show a creek near Fourmile Bike Park, where crews installed rocks and other features to stabilize the stream. Photos: Courtesy of Polk County Public Works Follow the money: The state is covering about 63% of the total costs ($10.62 million), with Polk County, participating cities

Des Moines Warns New Iowa Tax Law Could Gut Growth Tools, Cost City Millions Yearly

Des Moines officials are warning that a new Iowa property tax law could quietly undercut one of the city's main tools for financing growth, even as the city plans adjustments to address an estimated $11.5 million deficit for fiscal year 2027-2028 and anticipates roughly $5 million in cuts for fiscal year 2028-2029. At a work session Monday, city staff told the Des Moines City Council that a 2% cap on property tax revenue growth, combined with new restrictions on tax increment financing, could make it far harder to capture new revenue from development projects going forward.

La Mie Elevate is moving out of the Des Moines skywalk. Here's where

A favorite Des Moines lunch spot will receive grant funding to relocate its downtown cafe to street level from the second-floor skywalk. Des Moines City Council members on Monday, Nov. 2, approved a $200,000 grant to help La Mie, a French-style bakery, patisserie and cafe known for its artisan breads, flaky croissants and European light fare, transition to its new ground-floor home, 319 Seventh St., Unit 101, in the Griffin Building from the second floor of the Two Ruan Building. Council member Mike Simonson abstained from the vote because of a small ownership stake in the Griffin Building, he told the Des Moines Register. Since 2017, the Two Ruan Building has housed the bakery's downtown restaurant, La Mie Elevate, luring lunchtime crowds with an assortment of grain and protein bowls, sandwiches and salads. But as the bakery's lease agreement ends and Two Ruan prepares for an office-to-residential conversion , La Mie's owners have been eyeing a move to the vacant storefront at the corner of Seventh and Locust to maintain a downtown presence. Joe Logsdon, who co-owns La Mie with his wife Christina Logsdon, told the Des Moines Register the project will be a good opportunity to put some new
