There was a ribbon-cutting ceremony yesterday to mark the completion of upgrades to the Bird-land Park-area levee on Des Moines’ north side. The Des Moines Register reports the Birdland levee was first added to a U.S. Army Corps of Engineers waiting list for major upgrades after widespread flooding in 1993. The $12.2 million levee project will offer homes, businesses and North High School the strongest flood protection the area has ever known.
