Legislators are now hoping the state’s “Vision Iowa” program helps usher the state out of recession. The state is investing big bucks in up to nine big-ticket community projects, like sports arenas and museums. State Representative Steve Falck, a democrat from Stanley, says the program may stimulate the economy.
Falck says the 200-million dollars worth of state investment is just part of the financing for the projects, and the biggest jump-start for the economy will be the construction jobs.
