Risky dream realized at McGregor subdivision
McGregor Iowa built Ridgewood West on 51 acres overlooking the Mississippi River after losing a potential industry and population. About 40 residents have moved in with 14 homes now and seven more expected. lots sold for 10 000 to 15 000 dollars. The project financed water sewer and a street, boosted tax rolls, funded a 375 000 housing rehab, and spurred a new fire station. The city aims to expand, with 17 acres remaining atop the ridge for larger lots.
