Des Moines is the state capital and economic hub of Iowa. It has a metro population of 600,000 and a city population of 206,000. The metro has strong financial and biosciences industries that have propped up a very healthy economy, and have helped make the metro one of the fastest growing per capita in the Midwest.
I plan to gradually add information until the thread is current with all the projects that have been announced.
