Amana site to get road grant for permanent exhibition
A $260000 RISE grant from the Iowa DOT Commission funds half of a $515000 road project enabling the Amana Society to build a 52 acre permanent exhibition area at the intersection of highways 220 and 181. The project aims to host three major events over ten years and attract large conventions, boosting regional tourism and creating full time jobs. The plan includes a Welcome Center and will support the Society's $25 million annual sales.

Genera1 Electric Credit Corp withdraws the case and adds 6.5 million dollars, allowing progress on Highway 61 Dubuque four lane, Highway 218 Waterloo traffic relocation, LeMars to Tara rehabilitation, and Ida Grove to Maple River line work. IDOT will hold a shippers meeting in Waterloo with CC and P officials within two weeks gathered by the Iowa Corn Growers Association.
