Road funds drive faces Iowa cities and towns
The League of Iowa Municipalities launches a push for higher state road funding, seeking 20 percent of the road fund for cities and towns. Current distribution favors primary and secondary roads, with rural farm to market routes relying on reduced rural allocations and state money impacting local property taxes in both regions. Northern Iowa roads are generally better while southern roads face higher maintenance costs amid hills and bridges.
