The Harlan City Council, Tuesday, approved work on the Pioneer Park walking trail. During their regular meeting, the council held a public hearing on the reconstruction project. Once the hearing was closed, the council adopted two Resolutions pertaining to the plans, specifications and form of contract for, the Pioneer Park walking trail.

The project calls for the current trail to be torn out and replaced with a 10’ concrete trail in the same length. Howrey Construction Inc. of Rockwell City, Iowa was the lowest bid at slightly more than $281,039. The plan moving forward includes tearing out the current concrete in mid- to late-August, pouring the new pathway, and completing all work by early September.

Howrey Construction has completed other such projects in Lake City and Denison.
