Information contained in the workbook was collected from a variety of sources including City of Des Moines Departments, outside agencies that provide services in the City, and information from the U.S. Census Bureau.

At the end of every year, I like to look back and reflect on all the amazing things we’ve accomplished in 12 short months, and 2016 is no different. I can’t help but feel proud of everything Prairie Meadows accomplished this past year.

As a not-for-profit organization, we are motivated by this goal, and this deep GARY PALMER dedication to our community makes us exceptionally passionate about what we do. Our PRESIDENT/CEO team is not only passionate about their work and making Prairie Meadows a premier entertainment destination of the Midwest, but also about transforming the lives of those living in Central Iowa.
