The Van Buren County Board of Supervisors approved an amended Van Buren County Revitalization Plan on Jan. 20, 2025 to incorporate updates required by changes to Chapter 404 enacted by HF718.

Supervisor House told the board he had spoken with Senator St. Clair and Senator Dickey while attending the Iowa State Association of Counties meeting about concerns county governments are facing as a result of tax changes implemented by HF718 and by SF2442. House framed those conversations as part of ongoing county efforts to seek clarity and raise implementation issues with state lawmakers.
