Two community center options are being developed for the City of Kalona. At its meeting Monday, the city council chose to enter into a planning contract with Martin Gardner Architecture, a recommendation made by the public at an open house last month.

Mayor Ken Herington says they’re looking at either adding onto the north end of the community center or building a new facility. Herington adds he asked that the architects have something preliminary ready by the end of August so the dialogue can begin with residents, who will ultimately decide the direction the city moves in.
