Columbus Junction cuts Ribbon at new Civic Center Building

Most say it took more than 15 years for this community's dream to become a reality! On February 13, the citizens of Columbus Junction were invited to a ribbon cutting ceremony for the city's new Civic Center. The building, which houses the library, council chambers, city offices, a New Iowan center, and much more, cost an estimated $2 million to build. Approximately $1 million was raised locally, while about $525,000 came from the State in the form of a Vision Iowa C.A.T. grant. Director Ardith Ostrem, her staff, and her Board were all on hand to give tours. Congratulations Columbus Junction!
