The Norwalk City Council recently approved the sale and issuance of General Obligation Corporate Purpose Bonds, including additional premium funds directed toward the city’s ongoing North River Sewer Project.
The project has been a continued focus for the city as Norwalk prepares for future residential, commercial, and industrial growth on the community’s south and west sides. Norwalk City Manager Luke Nelson tells KNIA News the project is among the most important infrastructure investments currently underway in the region.
“I would argue that that project, the bonding for that project, is probably the number one most important infrastructure for this community, not only for our community, but for Cumming, for West Des Moines. It’s a huge investment, and it’s one that covers 1000s of acres south and west of Norwalk.”
Nelson says the city has continued to prioritize maintaining existing infrastructure while also expanding services to support Norwalk’s continued growth. Nelson adds that infrastructure investment remains one of the city’s top priorities as development continues throughout the community. The North River Sewer Project has also previously been discussed in connection with future industrial growth opportunities on the west side of Norwalk, including the potential data center development area.
