State plans multi building expansion in Des Moines
Des Moines proposes a 5.5 million addition to the Lucas State Office Building with underground and above ground parking for 1200 vehicles. The plan includes selling the Valley Bank Building, vacating the site by 1975, and consolidating 48,000 square feet of leased space. A second phase adds a Hall of Justice and agriculture building at 10.3 million, with federal cost share. A third general administration building would cost 7 million, totaling 24.9 million over 20 years with potential 20.4 million offset by federal funds land sales and parking revenue.
