Kalona is prepared for winter. According to City Administrator Ryan Schlabaugh, they’ve stocked up on salt, sand and ice melt. The city is in the process of replacing their current material storage located next to their maintenance building at 711 A Avenue. Schlabaugh says work on the new shed is underway, but it won’t be ready to use until next year. The city is also renovating and adding on to the maintenance building.
