Downtown rebirth fueled by private funds and public investment
A long-running Des Moines revival is traced to a private fundraising drive that followed a bond sale. City leaders describe how more than 235 million dollars in public spending and over 105 million in private money spurred redevelopment including Livac Center, hotel renovations, a new convention and theatre complex, parking ramps and chartered projects. New office retail spaces and a luxury condo project helped lure residents back downtown as public grants and tax incentives multiplied opportunities for growth.
