Where there was dirt now sits concrete for the Kalona Community Center.

City Administrator Ryan Schlabaugh says progress is going well on the building that’s slated to open August 25. Crews are working to complete the north wall of the building, framing the upper and lower levels, and painting the primary columns. Schlabaugh says the elevator is complete but awaiting inspection until the fire alarm system is up and running. The city council approved a change order increase to Bushong Construction of $13,299.16 as well as pay applications to Bushong Construction, Schumacher Elevator, Summit Fire Protection, and DeLong Construction.
