State rangers face evictions from Iowa-owned residences
Des Moines, Iowa – The Iowa Department of Natural Resources is set to evict hundreds of park rangers and other state park employees from state-owned homes because it will cost $1 million to fix and maintain the homes.
The agency determined that it would cost $341,000 to bring the 26 residences on state park grounds up to code, and another $556,000 for maintenance, which would include replacing windows, roofs, and central air and heating systems, as well as replacing doors and windows.
Another $100,000 per year would be needed for maintenance and repairs. If the plan goes through, rangers would have to leave the park where they live rent-free, leaving the public to wait longer for help in an emergency.
