Warren County endorses Norwalk's RISE grant to extend Delaware Street for industrial development
Summary
Supervisors voted to endorse the City of Norwalk's RISE grant application to extend Delaware Street to support the Track Development Technology Park; board members framed the endorsement as necessary to create industrial property and jobs and noted prior county support for similar projects.
The Warren County Board of Supervisors unanimously approved a resolution endorsing the City of Norwalk’s application to the Iowa Department of Transportation RISE program to extend Delaware Street and assist construction of the Track Development Technology Park. County leadership described the area as a growing industrial market with existing businesses such as Michael's Foods and Windsor Windows and said the extension would help attract and locate additional industrial properties.
Supporters emphasized the county's interest in creating shovel‑ready industrial sites to expand the local tax base and job opportunities. “This is just a resolution in support of their grant,” the chair said, asking the board to support Norwalk’s application; several supervisors added that state or federal infrastructure funding to improve gravel and paved roads is desirable when available. The resolution passed on roll call.
