Also at the meeting, a proclamation was accepted for October to be recognized as Domestic Violence Awareness Month. The Henry County Supervisor’s have a similar item on their agenda today.
The council approved an agreement with the Iowa Department of Transportation accepting a grant to construct the Airport Taxiway/Aprons for Hanger. Additionally, a second agreement was approved for a grant for the airport hangar structural improvement project.
An update was given on Eugene way, which is close to finished. There are 6 total lots, but the concrete plant will occupy one of those, leaving 5 lefts at 5 acres. Regarding the project around Main St, asphalt will be coming this fall and they are making good progress so far.
