Recently Greg has been making the rounds of the various city councils talking economics. We asked him to share these amazing numbers with you. Find out the true value of Catch Des Moines and how you can help make our area even better.
It's great to welcome Stephen King back to the Business News Hour. Stephen is the director of the Des Moines Arts Festival that kicks off on 22 June and has been guiding the event for years.
