The Iowa Alcoholic Beverages Division reached a major milestone in the agency’s history on May 20, 2005. Administrator Lynn Walding announced that the Division topped the $1 Billion mark with the May 2005 transfer to the general fund. Reorganized on July 1, 1987, when the last state liquor store was closed and the state became the exclusive wholesaler of distilled spirits, the Division generated that revenue contribution in a span of less than 18 years.
