The 30-second brief
57 pre-RFPs (projects, hiring and grants) found in City of Ankeny's meetings, most in transportation and capital projects. The latest, from Oct 20: Diamond Ridge Construction and Cory Realty, LLC were on the agenda for a variance at 306 S Ankeny Blvd tied to front yard and rear year setback relief. The board was scheduled to hear the request on October 20, 2026, so the decision was still pending. This is a live land-use signal for a project that may still need site design, engineering, and construction follow-on work.
