Iowa Finance Authority awards nearly $9 million in tax credits for affordable housing

The Iowa Finance Authority Board of Directors has awarded nearly $9 million in federal housing tax credits and nearly $66 million in tax-exempt bond financing to support the development of 595 affordable rental homes in four Iowa communities. The projects include 240 new apartments at Crescent Heights Apartment Homes in Council Bluffs, 112 apartments at The Wilmac in Dubuque, 87 apartments at Rath Fifteen 15 in Waterloo and 156 new apartments at Central at 8th in West Des Moines. The Dubuque and Waterloo projects will convert existing buildings into apartments, while the Council Bluffs and West Des Moines developments will involve new construction. The awards were made through the federal 4% Low-Income Housing Tax Credit program, which helps finance affordable rental housing for income-qualified households. The authority received six applications requesting more than $14 million in annual tax credits and nearly $104 million in tax-exempt bonds.

I-380 construction expected to end within 3 months

CEDAR RAPIDS — Motorists, rejoice: Construction on I-380 is nearing the end. The southbound lanes of Interstate 380 at the Highway 30 interchange no longer cross over the highway. Instead, drivers will continue straight onto the three widened lanes. This work is part of a larger project by the Iowa Department of Transportation to rebuild and widen north and southbound lanes of I-380. There still is more work to be done in the project’s north segment, which is the portion of I-380 between 120th Street and the Highway 30 interchange. The northbound stretch of the north segment isn’t in its final configuration yet, and some work on highway medians and the sides of the road remain, said John Lamping, an Iowa Department of Transportation resident construction engineer. The southbound rest stop is still closed as well, but Lamping said workers are hoping to reopen it in mid-December. The weather will determine when exactly construction in the north segment will be finished, but Lamping estimated it could happen in the next three months. The larger project’s south segment includes the stretch of I-380 north of Interstate 80 to north of Swan Lake Road. Work in the south segment is largely done,
