***ANNOUNCEMENT*** Iowa West Foundation is committing $250,000
to the City of Underwood for wastewater upgrades
Grants have rural VIBE
Five rural communities in Pottawattamie County will benefit from Iowa West’s Vibrant Rural Communities program.
The VIBE program is supporting projects in Avoca, Hancock, Oakland, Treynor and Underwood.
“Our vision strives for communities where people love to live with an emphasis on the ‘S’ in communities,” Brenda Mainwaring, president and CEO of the Iowa West Foundation, said in a statement provided to The Nonpareil. “Rural residents have immense pride in their towns, and we are pleased to be able to support their efforts to build and grow their hometowns.”
The communities will also benefit from ongoing grant dollars made available through endowments from the Charles E. Lakin Foundation announced in October. Rural communities outside Council Bluffs in Pottawattamie, Cass, Fremont, Mills, Montgomery and Page counties are receiving the Lakin investments.
Iowa West’s VIBE program will encourage growth through revitalization and providing infrastructure for future housing development. It will also identify capital projects and assist with applications seeking funding.
Oakland will receive $400,000 for sourcing wells to expand its water supply. Underwood will receive $250,000 for wastewater upgrades.
Avoca will receive $125,000 for a community center renovation, while Treynor will receive $125,000 for infrastructure improvements. Hancock will receive $15,000 for tree removal.
Advance Southwest Iowa, which is supporting Iowa West’s VIBE program, will receive an operating grant for $225,000. McClure Engineering will provide consulting assistance to the Pottawattamie County communities.
“We are grateful for the Foundation’s support, which has empowered us to create new opportunities for growth in rural communities,” Paula Hazlewood, CEO of Advance Southwest Iowa, said in a news release. “Thanks to this partnership, we are building a stronger local economy and a brighter future for our residents.”
Bethany Wilcoxon, senior adviser with McClure Engineering, said there are “so many opportunities” for Pottawattamie County communities.
“However, a lot of these communities only have a city clerk and they’re trying to get out water bills and keep city councils moving forward,” Wilcoxon said. “VIBE is about figuring out how do we pull all the resources together to help.”
