The Black Hawk County Board of Supervisors voted to approve a memorandum of understanding with the City of Waterloo to explore a property exchange that could support relocation of the county roads (Longfellow) facility. County Engineer Kathy Nicholas told the board the Longfellow site includes buildings dating to 1959 that are becoming difficult to maintain, and the county has local sales‑tax funding available to pay for capital infrastructure over time.
