COUNCIL BLUFFS, Iowa (AP) – The Council Bluffs City Council is set to vote next week on a development proposal near the city’s riverfront that would include multilevel office buildings, condo towers and apartment buildings. The Council Bluffs Daily Nonpareil reports that the master plan for Playland Park near the Bob Kerrey Pedestrian Bridge would be similar to Ak-Sar-Ben Village in Omaha, Nebraska, just across the Missouri River.

The city council is set to vote Monday on the plan. If approved, Mayor Matt Walsh says the next step would be to create a development agreement between the developers and the city.
