Supervisors sign letters of support for Belmond daycare and EMS bill

At their Monday meeting, the Wright County Board of Supervisors signed a letter of support for the City of Belmond’s application for a Community Development Block Grant for the Colt’s Corner Daycare project. Like many towns, Belmond is experiencing a childcare shortage as was verified after a 2019 study the city had completed. A proposed plan involves renovating the Ramsey School building in Belmond and turning it into a daycare. The city is seeking $500,000 in funds for the project through Iowa Economic Development Authority.
