    By Jason Clayworth,

    5 days ago

    The Polk County government is seeking redevelopment proposals for nearly two acres adjacent to the courthouse.

    Why it matters: It's prime downtown real estate that could extend the vibrancy of Court Avenue, according to the county's request to developers .


    State of play: The county purchased surface parking lots from Wells Fargo Properties last year.

    Driving the news: Five contiguous and vacant parcels for development are being offered for development.

    • Ground-level retail, affordable housing, an indoor park and an activity center are among the ideas previously generated for the site by residents, DSM city planners and downtown groups.

    What's next: Developers have until Sept. 20 to respond.
