Public Hearing Set For Partial Road Closing

The Keokuk County Supervisors held their weekly Monday morning meeting on Oct. 27 in the Boardroom of the Courthouse.

            The first order of business was a review and discussion of setting a date and time for a public hearing on vacating a portion of County roadway in sections 14 and 23, township 74N, range 10W, in Richland Township (310^th Street). The Supervisors had a request to close a portion of the road by the adjacent landowner, so a public hearing was set for Monday, Nov. 10 at 9:00 A.M.

            The Supervisors also discussed the Keokuk County trails specifically the condition of the trails near Lake Belva Deer. Supervisor Hadley would like to see some interested person or persons step up and get something going similar to the way the new Sigourney Park was done. He would like to see a Trails Foundation started by people who would like to see these trails completed.
