Ideas, projects and tours at RC&D’s September 19 Open House, Postville

Northeast Iowa RC&D will welcome Postville residents to learn about current and future projects in Postville and take a look at their recent site work during an open house this Thursday from 5:00 to 7:00 p.m. 

The site, across from city hall at 101 E. Greene St., is currently being transformed into a regional stormwater management best practices demonstration site. A public art piece will be installed this fall, and a permeable paving system will be complete by June 2020. 

RC&D will have information about the ongoing radon and lead testing project, redevelopment ideas for Postville. The Driftless Area Scenic Byway, which starts in Postville, and how Postville can take advantage of the route to attract more visitors and businesses will also be featured.

Postville residents are invited to visit ourpostville.com to see ideas for redevelopment of downtown sites. A mockup “flythrough” of downtown was developed to show what Postville could look like if these projects were implemented, and rough drafts of elements and site plans are also available to view.

“Postville residents can see ideas for future redevelopment and amenities at ourpostville.com, and give their feedback on what they want to see happen or what they would prefer to see changed. A final plan will be completed and available for public view in 2020.
