Special Council Meeting

BOONE, Iowa---The Boone City Council's special meeting will focus on the appropriation of the city's Hotel-Motel Tax receipts. But the Council will also take action on a couple of other matters. One is the Tax Increment Certification for the next fiscal year and the other is to see if funds are available to support an effort by the Iowa Railroad Historical Society to obtain a CAT Grant from the Iowa Department of Economic Development. Fenner Stevenson, General Manager at the Boone and Scenic Valley Railroad says an anonymous donor is willing to pledge a third of cost of a major museum project. The entire project is estimated to cost over $1.5 million.
