(Atlantic, Iowa) – The Cass County Board of Supervisors, during their meeting Tuesday morning, in Atlantic, heard a request from Craig Meyer, of Lewis, with regard to refurbishing some benches near the Cass County Freedom Rock site, in Lewis.

He said Weirich Welding in Lewis, which manufactured the benches, would be willing to transport the benches to Red Oak, for powder coating, which is a durable, electrostatically applied and baked-on paint, that when heated in a large, industrial over, cures to achieve a hard, smooth surface that is tougher than commercial paint. It resists rust and scratches.

Meyer said he would like to have the benches powder coated and back in-place by Memorial Day.

The Board agreed to look into the costs and put the request on the agenda for their next meeting on February 20^th, as part of the budgetary process.
