Des Moines will spend in excess of $1 million to bolster flood protection in key spots around town. The biggest chunk of that money - up to $900,000 - will make additional improvements to the soon-to-be reconstructed Birdland levee that protects businesses and homes near North High School from Des Moines River floodwater. New data that show a greater risk of severe flooding along the Des Moines River have prompted the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to increase the height of the new Birdland and Central Place levees.
