Marion County board to revisit joining Home Base Iowa veteran relocation program
Summary
A Home Base Iowa representative presented options to attract military veterans to Marion County; the board discussed costs, incentives and signage and agreed to place formal consideration on a future agenda.
Robert Haege, representing Home Base Iowa, presented the program to the Marion County Board of Supervisors on April 28, asking the county to consider joining a statewide effort to attract military veterans to Iowa.
The board discussed potential costs, how the county's existing veteran outreach efforts might be coordinated with the program, possible incentives for veterans and signage to promote participation. After discussion the board had consensus to bring formal consideration of joining Home Base Iowa back to the board at the next available agenda.
No formal motion to join was made at the meeting. The board did not approve any funding or incentives during the session; staff and supervisors indicated further information on costs and coordination would be needed before any final vote.
