Program: The Iowa Journal #167
Broadcast Date: Jul. 10, 2008
No doubt every Iowan is keenly aware of the impact the state's rivers can have when they flood. But many advocates and politicians have been working for years to create a different, more "fun," impact from the rivers.
Before the floods and tornadoes hit Iowa the legislature passed and the governor signed a $12 million appropriation to help communities improve and reinvigorate their river fronts for economic development.
The goal, in part, is to offer recreational opportunities that may help recruit a younger workforce to Iowa and provide safe access and opportunities for all Iowans, and other visitors, who want to canoe and kayak.
In the studio to discuss the issues of river development, are Nate Hoogeveen, Rivers Programs Coordinator for the Iowa Department of Natural Resources and Senator Bill Dotzler, a Democrat from Waterloo who co-authored a $12 million appropriation, signed by governor Culver, for river enhancements.
