New Iowa State Park Bill Moves Through Senate
Des Moines reports a new state park bill in the Iowa Senate. The Holdoegel measure would let a state board, with the executive council, establish parks along lakes and rivers, acquire land, and improve sites with funds from the fish and game funds. It creates a board of conservation, appoints a curator, and authorizes land purchases or condemnations, with highways opened to park sites and a publication clause. The warden notes much riverbank land is privately held, and the plan aims to stretch parks along major waterways, preserving existing lakes while enabling damming or dredging to alter water levels. Public support appears strong for prompt passage.
