Jun. 15—Jasper County formed an agreement with Marion County for the replacement of a bridge along the County Line Road, or South 128th Avenue, over a branch of the South Skunk River.

Jun. 14—When Erin Yeager was hired on as the executive director of Newton Main Street nearly six years ago, the local farmers market was held on the west side of the Jasper County Courthouse lawn and only had six vendors regularly show up to the event. My, oh my have things changed since then. It's a totally new market. Newton Farmers Market opened for the season this past Tuesday at the newly developed greenspace at Legacy Plaza with a whopping 34 vendors.

I was really touched to be asked to tag along on this trip. Jasper County is home to more than 2,000 veterans, and about 100 of them showed up for the Iowa Vietnam Veterans Recognition Day in Des Moines. The county was well represented at the ceremony. https://t.co/U8MmMwHmP8

Oh boy here comes the outrage over that Clark/Reese foul… I hope I’m wrong.

If I didn’t have the day off today, I’d write out a huge thread explaining why this is so important. The biggest project post-Maytag. Potential to attract big industry and create hundreds of jobs. Newton and Jasper County need this very badly.

Jasper County and Newton team up to establish rail park with Iowa Interstate Railroad and Alliant Energy, which could be the community’s biggest project post-Maytag https://t.co/kRguxNAhRy
