(Red Oak, Iowa) – The Board of Supervisors in Montgomery County, Tuesday morning (Today), approved the donation of a portion of the Clark Subdivision Road to the County. The road – which was donated by Jeremy Clark – will be referred to as 220th Street. Clark said it’s a win-win for everyone involved.

Clark said the advantage to the County is getting more houses built in the area, which generates more tax revenue.

There are basically five lots for homes and two possibly for businesses. Clark said they’ve sold five lots already, and Supervisor Mike Olson agreed it would be easier to sell the lots if it was a county property with road maintenance. After approving the road subdivision, the Montgomery County Supervisors approved a related aggregate agreement for the upgrade of that portion of 220th Street that was donated to the County.
