Logistics

Greater Des Moines’ (DSM’s) prime location at the heart of Iowa and in the middle of the Midwest attracts new and growing logistics businesses. Distribution centers and warehouses can tap into paramount real estate right next to Interstates 80 and 35, several active railroads with full-time switching service and a lower cost of doing business compared to other regions — allowing them to do something greater here while saving money on their bottom line.
