County Officials Gauge Community Center Plan
County commissioners met housing specialist John Yates and CAP assistant Robert Maurer to review remodeling the former hospital on W Main St into a county service center. A 75 percent federal grant might be available if feasible, with the county providing land and building as its share. Services could include health, 4 H and youth programs, veterans services, social services and more. Financing remains a hurdle as the 25 percent local share may exceed the building value. Commissioners will study further and also discussed declaring the county a solid waste disposal district to set rates and sites while addressing upcoming sanitary sewer and water issues.
