A description and anticipated work schedule for the project is shown here.

MARINA DISTRICT PLANNING The future of the City’s Marina District, formerly known as the downtown, is bright. City leaders are excited at the potential for positive change in this neighborhood area as the Des Moines City Council took another significant step in fulfilling one of its top strategic economic objectives—making the Marina District a more viable neighborhood which is energized by new business opportunities, inclusive of new and different housing types, and creates a destination that will support tourism by linking business areas flanking Marine View Drive and 7th Avenue South with City assets and amenities found and planned for within the Des Moines Marina and Beach Park.
