(Red Oak, Iowa) – The Montgomery County Board of Supervisors, Tuesday morning, are expected to continue discussions held last week, with regard to the acquisition of a rail spur by the City of Red Oak. Last week, the Board received and discussed the Montgomery County Development Corporation’s proposal for joint financial support between the city and the county for repair of a Burlington Northern Santa Fe railroad spur stretching between Bunge to the railroad’s main line.

Economic Development Executive Director Steve Adams said the county is facing a time crunch for the repairs, as BNSF has agreed to pick up box cars on a timely basis, while Bunge would like remove the cars beginning August 1st. At the same time, Adams says his organization needs financial assistance for the repairs, previously estimated at $26,000. And, MCDC hopes to garner revenues from the line’s usage.

The rail spur is currently not in use, but Adams said with the possibility of business and industrial expansion in the county, it’s important to repair the spur, in order to maintain local control over the rail line.

In other business, the Montgomery County Supervisors, Tuesday, will act on approving:

• Nishna Productions, Inc. annual contract (In the amount of $1,421) for FY 2023/24
• A contract with the City of Red Oak Public Library for financial support ($17,820) for FY 23-24
• A contract with the City of Stanton’s Public Library for financial support ($6,020) for FY 23-24
• and approval of a grant agreement between the Iowa Economic Development Authority (IEDA), the City of Stanton and Montgomery County.

(Radio Iowa) – A Tony Award-winning Broadway musical makes its Iowa debut tomorrow (Tuesday) night, featuring the story of a five-man vocal group that rose to stardom in the 1960s and ’70s. “Ain’t Too Proud, The Life and Times of The Temptations” features actress and singer Quiana Holmes in the role of Josephine, the wife of Otis Williams, one of the act’s founding members. Holmes says she started singing around age four, while her late father would rock her to sleep singing “My Girl.”

The musical tells the tale of the group’s extraordinary journey from the streets of Detroit to the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. From their dance moves to the smooth harmonies, The Temptations rose to the top of the charts with an incredible 42 Top Ten Hits, including 14 songs that reached number-one. The show runs through Sunday at the Civic Center of Des Moines.

(Radio Iowa) – The economy is having an impact on Winnebago Industries, but the company’s C-E-O Michael Happe (Happy)says he is optimistic about the future. Third quarter revenue decreased 38 percent compared to last year as sa;les slowed. Happe says their results remain above pre-pandemic levels. Happe says the company is confident Americans will increasingly look to the outdoors and road trips to improve mental well-being and to combat the rising costs of flights, lodging and car rentals.

He says research shows that 70 percent of respondents have considered using an R-V for travel instead of a flight, hotel or rental car, and K-O-A’s research shows that 33 percent intend to use their R-V for more trips, replacing other modes of travel.
