Gov seeks 400000 to buy Des Moines bank building
Gov. Harold Hughes asked the Iowa legislature to appropriate 400000 to buy the 10 story Valley National Bank building at Fourth and Walnut Des Moines. The federal government owns it and officials from the General Services Administration Kansas City office agreed to accept the state's bid. If approved by Washington and funded, plans include vacating Archives and Amos Hiatt buildings and moving several agencies into the bank building amid a major re shuffle. The executive council would likely lease part of the space back to the bank.
