HCC Builds Near Grundy Center
Front
Posted 12 May 2009
Hawkeye Community College broke ground on Thursday, May 6, on a building that will extend the reach of the College’s services. The Western Outreach Center will be located in the Grundy County Industrial Park south of U.S. Highway 20 along Iowa Highway 14, seven miles north of Grundy Center.

Cardinal Construction, owner of the new building, has signed a five-year lease with Hawkeye for the use of the building. The 6,100-square-foot facility will allow Hawkeye to offer a variety of college courses and Project Lead the Way engineering courses to area high school students. The Grundy Center School District plans to sub-lease some space to offer some classes.

Senator Heckroth Meets with Land Donar
Front
Posted 14 April 2009
Senate President Jack Kibbie of Emmetsburg (right) and Senator Bill Heckroth of Waverly (left) congratulate Joyce Oldfather of West Union for her generous land donating during "Gift to Iowa's Future Day" at the Statehouse April 6.

Joyce donated 200 acres to the Fayette County Conservation Board for a conservation easement. The easement protects the land from parceling or building and requires forest management to be conducted under a conservation plan.

Also recognized for land gifts during "Gift to Iowa's Future Day" were Frederick Heery Kurth; Catherine Fitch; Margaret Chmielewski; Fred and Catharine Folsom; John and Joan Conroy; Patrick and Patricia Watkins who donated 12 acres to the Iowa DNR for an addition to Heery Woods State Park in Butler County.

In addition, the Union Pacific Railroad donated 412 acres of the Rolling Prairie Trail corridor in Franklin and Butler counties to the Iowa Natural Heritage Foundation. The recreational trail will connect Beeds Lake State Park in Franklin County and Heery Woods State Park in Butler County, and it will link users to the larger Tri-County Trail System in north central Iowa. More information is at www.inhf.org/rollingprairietrail-08-news.htm.
