Iowa National Guard soldiers will soon have a place in West Des Moines for their weekend training. The Iowa National Guard Readiness Center is planned for 1625 Southeast County Line Road on the city's south side. West Des Moines' Plan and Zoning Commission approved a site plan for the project on Monday and the City Council will consider final approval at its meeting June 5. Jackie Schmillen, spokesperson for the Iowa National Guard, said the facility would provide needed space for service members doing weekend drills.
