Annexation clash grows in Oelwein bid to expand
Oelwein moves to annex 1338 acres adding 471 residents and 9.2 million in land value to tax rolls. Opponents claim higher taxes would yield little extra services and warn of unmet city projects and higher costs for residents outside the limits. The City Development Board will weigh arguments before a ballot decision.

State board to decide if Oelwein annexation goes to ballot
The City Development Board will determine within a month whether the Oelwein annexation should appear on a local election ballot. The appointed panel, including Gov. appointees, reviews if annexations serve public interest, adjoining city limits, and service ability. Critics argued about city influence at hearings.
