Missouri River Preservation and Land Use Authority (Iowa Code: Title XI - Natural Resources; Chapter 463B) Country/Territory United States of America Territorial subdivision Iowa Document type Legislation Date 2018 Source FAO, FAOLEX Subject Land & soil, Water Keyword Land-use planning Institution River basin institution Wetlands Coastal zone management Policy/planning Special fund Geographical area Americas, Arctic, East Pacific, North America, North Atlantic Abstract This chapter of the Iowa Code concerns the Missouri River Preservation and Land Use Authority. It provides that the Missouri river is an important natural resource to the state of Iowa and that the creation of comprehensive plans which lead to the purchase, development, and preservation of land adjacent to the Missouri river will provide recreational and economic benefits to the state and to the counties and cities which border on the river. The general assembly further finds that current planning and purchase efforts relating to development of Missouri riverfront property have fallen short of the goal of developing a comprehensive plan for the recreational development of the Missouri river and that the creation of an authority which has the mission of engaging in these efforts will have a greater likelihood of reaching the desired goal. It further provides for the creation of the Missouri river preservation and land use authority; and Missouri river preservation and land use fund. Full text English Website www.legis.iowa.gov
