The Cass County Board of Supervisors will hear from Atlantic Area Chamber of Commerce Director Ouida Hargens, Wednesday morning, with regard to Workforce Issues in Cass County. Also set to meet with the Board on the same topic, is a training coordinator from Iowa Western Community College. Together, they will discuss a vision to increase and sustain economic development by building a highly educated workforce that’s responsive to the needs of local businesses. The Board of Supervisor’s meeting begins 8:30-a.m. Wednesday, at the Cass County Courthouse.

In other business, the Board of Supervisors will discuss and possibly act on leasing a portion of the Walnut Street Annex to Adult Probation of the Fourth Judicial District, and, they’ll act on an abatement of taxes on property owned by the City of Atlantic. That includes Airport buildings and land, Washington Township, and a parcel near the Schildberg Rec Area.

They’re also expected to act on approving an amended 28-E Unified Law Enforcement Agreement by adding the City of Marne to other member communities that include Cumberland, Lewis, Massena and Wiota. The matter was tabled during last week’s meeting while a legal question was looked into.
