ISU announces plans for CYTown

News, Sports

September 19th, 2022 by Ric Hanson

(Radio Iowa) – Iowa State officials unveiled plans for a major development on the grounds of the Iowa State Center between Jack Trice Stadium and Hilton Coliseum. CYTown will include a hotel and convention center, a medical clinic as well as restaurant, retail and office space.

That’s I–S-U athletic director Jamie Pollard, who says they will seek approval from the Board of Regents for phase one of the project in November. 

Iowa State athletics took over the Iowa State Center three years ago. Pollard says in total it is about a 20-year project and they hope to have some of the restaurant and retail operations up and running by the Fall of 2025.

Pollard says work will begin following approval by the Board of Regents.

The target for completion of the parking lot improvements and infrastructure is August 2025. The university plans to seek final approval from the Board of Regents later this fall to begin work on the project in January 2023.

(Creston, Iowa) – The driver of a 2007 Pontiac Grand Am fell asleep at the wheel Saturday afternoon, in Creston, and crashed into a parked pickup truck, causing a chain reaction accident. According to Creston Police, 15-year-old Jake Nelson Hoyt, of Creston, was traveling north on Sumner Avenue at around 12:19-p.m., when he fell asleep. He told authorities that he crossed two opposite lanes of traffic, and when he woke up, saw he was approaching the rear end of a truck, but it was too late to take evasive action.

The car hit a curb before hitting one parked truck, which in-turn, struck another parked truck. Hoyt was injured during the accident and transported by EMS to the hospital in Creston to be checked out and treated. Damage to the Grand Am, registered to Andrea Hoyt, of Creston, was estimate to be $5,000.

Navigation season on Missouri River will end early this fall due to drought

Ag/Outdoor, News

September 19th, 2022 by Ric Hanson

(Radio Iowa) – Officials with the U-S Army Corps of Engineers will cut short the navigation season on the Missouri River this fall due to the continued drought. John Remus, chief of the Corps’ Missouri River Basin Water Management Office, says they’ve been conserving water for months. “We restrict our releases from Gavins Point, we start cutting service to navigation,” Remus says. “When that both is a lesser service during the flow support season and then if it gets worse, we will make that flow support season shorter.”

Clear signs of the drought first began to emerge in July of 2020, and Remus says one priority is to keep a reserve of water in the upstream reservoirs. “If it gets real bad, if we reach a certain level of storage in the system, we don’t support navigation at all for that year,” Remus says, “and if we ever reach that, and we never have, we could maintain that lower level of service to all the other purposes, even if we get what we call lower decile run offs which are very, very dry years.”

The Corps has cut back releases, dropping Missouri River levels by a full foot, which will impact boat traffic and could affect municipal water supplies and other utilities that rely on the river. Navigation continues on the Missouri, though barges will have to lighten their loads to float. Remus says the navigation season will end November 28th, which is three days early.
