NEBRASKA | Iowa West Foundation Update – What’s Next for the Riverfront Development

The Iowa West Foundation has long served as a catalyst of development on the Iowa side of the Missouri River. The Board of Directors has committed more than $22 million in the past 15 years to develop the 5-acre Great Lawn known as Tom Hanafan River’s Edge Park, incorporate works of public art like “Big Mo” and “Rays,” and continually support events such as Loessfest. In partnership with the City of Council Bluffs, the Foundation also has been instrumental in funding the River’s Edge Pavilion community building and surrounding water features as well as the 743-stall parking garage currently under construction.

After breaking ground on the future Iowa West Foundation headquarters building at River’s Edge in late 2017, and just recently placing the final beam on the 4-story, 67,000 square foot building, Iowa West Foundation President and CEO Pete Tulipana will present what’s next for the Iowa side of the Riverfront at the June meeting.

Come hear about the Riverfront Revitalization to the north and south of River’s Edge Park as well as view images of proposed spaces and their potential amenities and programming.

“The Riverfront is a unique asset with huge potential for economic development in Council Bluffs.”
-Pete Tulipana, President and CEO of the Iowa West Foundation.
