Veterans Tower project receives award

The Eagle Grove Veterans Tower completed its first phase of renovations in September of 2012. What once stood as an old, dilapidated, elevator on the east side of Fareway had gotten a much-needed face-lift with a new coat of paint, and most importantly, a purpose. A fter several years of commitment to making additions and improvements as could be afforded, the committee was forced to take a break in progress to work out some important issues.

Last fall, they were able to get back into action as repainting began. Now, they are even more excited to announce that future painting costs will be offset by a Paint Iowa Beautiful award they were given by Keep Iowa Beautiful and Diamond Vogel.

“We appreciate the pride you have in your community as evidenced by the desire to improve it,” the award letter stated.
