City of Grimes Named an Iowa Great Place

The Iowa Department of Cultural Affairs (now IEDA) and Iowa Great Places Citizen Advisory Board have designated Grimes as an Iowa Great Place. Through this designation, the State of Iowa recognizes communities dedicated to improving their quality of life and quality of place. Grimes has demonstrated their commitment to stakeholder engagement and long-term planning while cultivating and lifting up authentic assets in neighborhoods, districts, communities, and regions.
