City Buys Van Diel Building in council vote

In a special meeting last Monday the city council voted 3 to 2 to purchase the Van Driel building adjacent to the old city hall, a move tied to the proposed new fire station and rescue complex. Some members opposed the option on the building to guard against a bond issue failure, while others trusted the bond would pass with federal revenue sharing. The city will join the North West Town Council of Governments to guide regional planning and funding decisions for nine northwest Iowa counties. The council also bid 500 to the Milwaukee Railroad for land used in a L as a Hudson project, amid local complaints over property impact on the abandoned fire site spanning about 100 feet wide from Main to 10th Avenue.

Hawarden Mayor Warns Rail Line Closure Hurts Economy

Hawarden mayor Harlan Hummel testified that abandoning a railroad section through Hawarden would severely damage Sigur County’s economy. He cited a Chicago and Northwestern line from Wren, Iowa to Irquoig, SD, and an elevator operator estimated a $400,000 yearly loss to farm customers if rail service ends, warning that food supply could suffer as corn belt production and delivery falter.
