The ongoing renovations at the Kalona Community Center should be done in time for an open house scheduled for next month. According to City Administrator Ryan Schlabaugh, new tiling, drop ceiling and lighting fixtures will be installed on the ground floor. The addition of a vestibule is set to take place in the spring. Schlabaugh adds once the youth center renovation on the second level is complete, it will be managed by YMCA of Washington County and Elements.

The city is using a $90,000 Washington County Riverboat Foundation grant to help finance the $140,000 project.

The open house is being held Saturday, January 24th.
