The Union Park, North of Grand and Woodland Heights neighborhoods will soon be eligible for a slew of targeted revitalization grants.
The Des Moines City Council approved a recommendation Monday by Invest DSM to adopt two new Special Investment Districts that will encompass the neighborhoods. The nonprofit helps finance home renovations, encourage businesses to make improvements and jumpstart major projects in areas that have seen neglect.
Once a neighborhood is selected, it can access Invest DSM resources for 10 years.
