How Greater Evolved
Earlier this year, we surveyed our audience and invited readers to share their ideas on how to make Des Moines Greater in the next 35 years. The response was overwhelming. We shared more than 75 ideas in an anniversary publication celebrating Business Record’s 35 years, and are now continuing that effort and canvassing the community for diverse ideas and solutions to the challenges facing our community. This website contains those ideas – some concrete and tangible; others big and in need of digesting. We hope this collection of ideas inspires you to make Des Moines Greater.
You can read more ideas here or submit your own idea here.
