Des Moines and the Greater Des Moines Chamber of Commerce outline a new image plan featuring a performing arts theater, a cultural plaza, a convention center, a hotel complex, and a parking garage on the west side. East side development includes an old town district, a legislative hotel, and residential facilities to meet downtown housing demand.

A council debate emerged over a $42,000 downtown study, with Olson agreeing to delay action and discuss details.
