(Atlantic, Iowa) – The Cass County Board of Supervisors, Tuesday, are set to discuss future plans for County-owned farm crop land, and the future of the Willow Heights care facility building. Last week, KJAN confirmed the 43 bed facility that’s been open since the early 1970’s is closing because of staffing issues and a general trend in downsizing facilities where people with mental health issues are said to be better served. No action on either the crop land or facility are expected.

The Supervisors will also discuss, and take possible action on, a 28E project agreement between Cass County and the City of Atlantic, for the repair of a bridge on W. 6th Street over the Nishnabotna River. Other discussion and possible action will take place with regard to the use of American Rescue Plan funding. The Board will also receive a report from Cass County Engineer Trent Wolken.

Their meeting in the Supervisors Board Room in the Courthouse, begins at 9-a.m. (and available for viewing live, at https://us02web.zoom.us/j/138870131?pwd=dnRLK2ZjcWQ2SWpMQm0wK1c0b2pwUT09)
