“The City of West Des Moines has found great benefit in the Stormwater sessions conducted through Capital Crossroads. The presentations and panel discussions were a great way to understand what is working and what is not in our area and other parts of the Midwest. Working side by side with Metro communities and government organizations is truly the only way to solve these complex issues pertaining to stormwater management. I believe we can walk away from this effort with a plan of action that all can agree on.” - Brian Hemesath, City of West Des Moines City Engineer
