Housing in the southern half of the Iowa City metro area including Washington County will be the focus of an event held by the Washington Economic Development Group.

The realtor and homebuilder networking luncheon will feature development opportunities, community projects, and school improvements. City officials from Washington, Kalona, Riverside, and Wellman will speak, as well as school superintendents from Washington, Mid-Prairie and Highland. In 2015 the English Valley Realtors Association in Washington disbanded and joined the Iowa City Area Association of Realtors. The event is February 15th at the Riverside Casino’s event center.
