City Council focuses on community renovations Kingland, CAA hash out plan for Campustown’s redevelopment

By Emelie.Knobloch @iowastatedaily.com

Resolutions were passed at the City Council hearing for the establishment and adoption of the Campustown Urban Renewal Area. After the City Council meeting on Oct. 22, several actions involving the Kingland Redevelopment Project were taken. “We have been number one in terms of ISU student employment in Ames for years,” said Todd Rognes president of Kingland Systems. “We now need more space for our functions.” The planning and zoning commission decided the Urban Renewal Plan agrees with the city’s land use policy plan. “We have a good dialogue with city staff,” Rognes said. “We have continued discussion with our tenants which has led to a few changes.” The city of Ames received a detailed redevelopment plan from Kingland Systems for the project including floor plans, architectural elevations and an animation of the pro- jected appearance.

The United States has been a global leader for decades. In the aftermath of the World Wars, the United States rose to the pinnacle of power, and has held the figu- rative crown of the world ever since. In the area of space exploration and aeronautics, the story has not been much different. After the early successes of the USSR — which include the launch of the first artificial satellite, Sputnik, and the first manned mission to space — the United States took a commanding lead.
