Johnston considers $58M development agreement with Vylor

The City of Johnston is preparing to invest up to $58 million in growing the roots of a new seed corporation that has put its global headquarters in the city. Corteva Agriscience on Oct. 1 completed the separation of its seed business into Vylor Inc., which has its headquarters in Johnston at what was Corteva's seed research and development campus. The corporate seed research presence dates back to the 1926 founding in Johnston of the Hi-Bred Corn Company, which became Pioneer, and which then through decades of corporate mergers and splits became part of Corteva. Vylor employs 3,000 people across Iowa, including in Johnston. Johnston City Council will vote on Nov. 16 on a development agreement with Vylor that would include up to $58 million in grants to support office renovations, new or expanded buildings, and a commercial building's expansion at multiple sites. Vylor plans to spend at least $4 million to renovate the office buildings at its Johnston headquarters campus by March 31, 2028, and employ no fewer than 1,884 full-time-equivalent jobs, according to the proposed development agreement. In exchange, Johnston city officials are prepared to offer the company a one-time $3.75 million grant as an incentive. The city

While Iowa basketball (2-1) had chances to grab a key nonconference win over Virginia Tech (3-0) on Tuesday night inside the Tyson Events Center in Sioux City, the Hawkeyes ' shooting struggles from the floor and the free-throw line in regulation and overtime ultimately led to a 93-88 loss.

West Des Moines office park could become neighborhood

A sprawling West Des Moines office park that once housed some of the metro's prominent companies could be transformed into apartments, shops and a hotel. Why it matters: Regency West is a mostly vacant, dated office park in a prominent spot next to Interstate 235. Catch up quick: The first Regency West building was constructed in 1981, eventually growing into an eight-building office park along Westown Parkway. The office park, built by Des Moines businessman Marvin Pomerantz, once housed major companies including ITA Group, Equifax, MetLife, Sammons and Holmes Murphy. Over the years, however, tenants have left for newer facilities, while the pandemic also reduced the need for space. R&R Realty purchased the property in 2012 and sold it to Chicago-based Bradford Allen in 2025. State of play: Today, the office park is under 30% capacity with 600,000 square feet of space. Its valuation has dramatically dropped, going from a $52 million assessed valuation in 2023 to just $17 million in 2026. West Des Moines is considering a new tax incentive for the area to help pay for redevelopment costs, says the city's economic development director, Ryan Moffatt. What they're saying: Bradford Allen wants to turn the property into a
