Initially created to clean up (environmental contamination), assemble, and to get sites back into the market, we quickly grew into an organization that could identify and leverage opportunities around development.  The goal is to respond to the housing and community development needs identified by the residents of Council Bluffs. We continue to look for redevelopment opportunities that are vital to Council Bluffs.

The 712 Initiative has assisted in a range of development projects that include:
Bennett Building Old Omaha Standard Site Old Nonpareil Building Creston House
ConAgra Expansion The Rise Building Hughes Irons Building Downtown Revitalization Fund – Storefronts
West Broadway Entryway Three Points Lofts Harvester Artist Lofts Cohen Building
Charles E Lakin Health & Human Services Campus The Sawyer Building Prime Square Apartments
