Ames Iowa Growth and College Drive City Prospect
Ames grows as a college town with the Iowa State College of Agriculture and Mechanic Arts at its heart. The city, population 3600 to 4000, hopes to reach 10,000 in ten years as enrollment tops 2000 and real estate surges. A city utilities system, electric light plant, sewer project, libraries, and new blocks boost value and housing demand.
