During the Feb. 10 Eagle Grove City Council meeting WCED Director Aaron Budgweg addressed the council during the public forum, providing an overview of the Heart of Iowa Trust Fund and encouraging qualifying residents to apply; he said roughly $90,000 remains available to assist homeowners with repairs.
