Atlantic Unit Lands Plan Approved for Western Iowa College

The Atlantic Development Group won approval from the Board of Regents to acquire 698 acres on the southwest edge of Atlantic for a proposed western Iowa state college site. The group will deliver title to the regents for 556000, the land’s price based on two appraisals, with a funding gap expected between 150000 and 200000 to be covered by the community and landowners. Darrell Rodgers of the Atlantic Chamber of Commerce said the plan avoids contentious eminent domain steps and keeps Western Town moving toward the school, which has waited since the 1950s. If future legislatures fail to fund construction, the group will proceed as planned.
