(Greenfield, Iowa) – The Adair County Board of Supervisors have unanimously passed a Resolution of Financial Support for the Adair Community Center project. Their action came during a regularly scheduled meeting this (Tuesday) morning. The resolution calls for the County’s commitment of $5,000 as part of a local match to construct a new Community Center. The funds are contingent upon the City being approved for a Community Attraction and Tourism (CAT) grant. The maximum grant amount is $250,000. Adair County Board Supervisor Chair Steve Shelley read the Resolution as presented.

The resolution will be included in the grant application to indicate support for the project. The deadline for the City to turn in its grant application and proof of community support, is August 27^th. Adair Mayor John Larsen says to-date, the City is close to raising the required 65-percent amount of funds for the local match.

The City of Adair has been without a Community Center for the past several months after the old building was sold to accommodate a new Dollar General store. The City completed moving a house from a lot at 4^th and Stuart Streets, and the site prepared to become the Adair Community Center. The current site was chosen because it is centrally located and has access to adequate parking. The new building will be constructed with steel.

In other business, the Adair County Board of Supervisors approved an application for one floodplain permit, and the issuance of a separate permit. They approved a liquor license renewal for the Greenfield Golf and Country Club. They also approved the Board Chair signing Right-of-Way contracts for the Lakeview culvert project.

The Board discussed the speed limit on Lakeview Drive, south of Highway 92. Inside the Greenfield City limits, speed along the road is limited to 35 miles per hour. Adair County Engineer Nick Kauffman suggested a speed limit for the County’s portion of the road the Board will likely vote on next week.

Kauffman provided an update as well, on various Secondary Roads Department projects,

And, he said their new motor-grader arrived on Monday.
