Des Moines Officials Express Concern Over New Iowa Property Tax Law's Impact on Development Incentives

Des Moines Officials Express Concern Over New Iowa Property Tax Law's Impact on Development Incentives

Des Moines city officials are raising concerns that recent changes to Iowa's property tax law could significantly curtail the city's ability to utilize tax increment financing (TIF). TIF is a crucial tool for supporting redevelopment projects within the city. The new law introduces a 2% cap on the growth of local general fund levies, although it includes exceptions for new construction. Additionally, it imposes a 23-year sunset clause on all future TIF districts. City officials fear these modifications will make it more challenging to capture the increased property tax revenue generated by subsidized development projects once they are added to the tax rolls. This could hinder future urban development and revitalization efforts in Des Moines.

Department of Veterans Affairs Opens 47th New Healthcare Facility Under President Trump, Expanding Veteran Care Access

The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) announced the opening of its 47th new healthcare clinic since 2025 under the leadership of President Trump. This new outpatient clinic, located in West Burlington, Iowa, is a relocation and significant expansion of a smaller facility that opened in 2021.

Ohio State University Researchers Project Significant Increase in Data Center Electricity Consumption by 2030

Ohio State University Researchers Project Significant Increase in Data Center Electricity Consumption by 2030

Researchers at Ohio State University's College of Food, Agricultural and Environmental Sciences project that data centers belonging to six major technology companies could more than double their global electricity consumption by 2030 compared to 2024 levels. This increase is largely driven by the growing demand for artificial intelligence (AI). The study, published in Communications Sustainability, estimates that these companies' combined annual data center electricity use worldwide could rise from approximately 118 terawatt-hours in 2024 to between 239 and 295 terawatt-hours by 2030, accounting for roughly 1% of projected global electricity demand. Ohio is identified as one of the states expected to experience particularly high demand, with the six companies' data centers potentially consuming over 15 terawatt-hours annually by 2030. This amount is roughly one-tenth of the electricity sold to all Ohio customers in 2024, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration. The study focused on Amazon, ...

Iowa Farm Transitions from Hog CAFO to Mushroom Cultivation with Transfarmation Project Support

Iowa Farm Transitions from Hog CAFO to Mushroom Cultivation with Transfarmation Project Support

The Faaborg family farm in central Iowa has successfully transitioned from a Concentrated Animal Feeding Operation (CAFO) that raised thousands of hogs to cultivating specialty mushrooms. This transformation was made possible with technical and financial support from The Transfarmation Project, an initiative of Mercy For Animals. The Faaborgs, who previously housed 1,100 hogs in each of their two buildings, have retrofitted half of one 200-foot-long hog barn into a 'fruiting room' for mushrooms. This farm now serves as Transfarmation's second demonstration hub in the U.S., providing a model for other industrial animal farmers looking to switch to sustainable practices like growing mushrooms, diversified vegetables, or incorporating agroecology. The project aims to repurpose existing farm infrastructure, offering open-source blueprints for converting industrial pig, poultry, and dairy barns.
