During the Washington County Board of Supervisors session on Tuesday, October 13, the board accepted a bid for $273,872.45 for the culvert replacement on Kiwi Avenue, below the estimated cost of $330,000.  

The board also approved a public highway easement for Kiwi Avenue in Cedar Township and tabled action on the second easement for Kiwi Avenue at the county engineer`s request.

The quarterly report from WEDG (Washington Economic Development Group) highlighted its continuing work with cities such as Riverside, Wellman and Kalona.

While Riverside was undergoing a transition following the departure of its city administrator, WEDG helped with the search for a replacement.

WEDGE has also been working with Wellman on its student housing project, which allows students to receive hands-on training.

In addition to Riverside and Wellman, WEDGE has continued working with Kalona on business development.
