City of West Bend recieves grant money.

The Iowa Transportation Commission approved a Revitalize Iowa's Sound Economy (RISE) Local Development grant application submitted by the city of West Bend. Commision spokesman Stuart Anderson says up to $116,172 will be made available to grade and pave First Street N.E. from Iowa 15 east approximately 900 feet. Funding for the grant comes from the city share of the RISE fund. Anderson says the new roadway will provide paved access to the first phase of this 12-acre development that will ultimately provide 11 lots for development.
