Supervisors hear about a roadside management program

At this past Monday’s Supervisor meeting, Mike Heller with JEO Consulting Group of Ankeny presented information on a potential roadside program for the County. “By doing this program, you will open up a funding stream for an 86 percent cost-share from the DOT on purchases for management programs in Iowa counties,” said Heller. “That could be for anything to help manage roadsides.”
