Sixth Avenue corridor receives federal grant
Efforts to improve Des Moines’ Sixth Avenue corridor will get a boost from a $430,000 U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) grant that the city will share with eight other Iowa communities. The HUD Challenge Grants are administered by the Iowa Downtown Resource Center and Main Street Iowa. The estimated total project cost of the nine projects is more than $1.2 million, according to a news release.
