Louisa County could see 4-lanes on U.S. Highway 61 according an Iowa Department of Transportation proposal that has been in the works since 2011. A public forum was held last week regarding the potential reconstruction of U.S. 61 in Louisa County from north of 130th Street to the existing four-lane roadway at the Muscatine County line. The DOT will accept written comments regarding the nearly $30 million project until Monday, March 25. To view blue prints, DOT contact info and a full description of the project go to www.iowadot.gov/PIM

The Community came together last weekend for the Big Brothers/Big Sisters annual Bowl For Kids’ Sake fundraiser. The top fundraising team was Resource Retirement Group with just over $3,000.  

Muscatine’s Walk to Cure Diabetes is in the planning stage and dedicated community members are needed to serve on the walk planning committee. If you can help, contact Kari Turner at 563-549-4571 or This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.
