The Allamakee County Board of Supervisors met in regular session Monday, May 23 to discuss a variety of issues, including the Wennes Communications tower lease, approval of the Postville Trail property sale and Northeast Iowa Community College's (NICC) 50th year proclamation. There were no comments made during the public comments portion of the meeting.
The first regular business agenda item involved the consideration of the NICC 50th year proclamation. Erica Nosbisch, NICC Waukon Center Director, addressed the Board with details regarding NICC's positive impact on Allamakee County, claiming one in 10 residents in the county has been served by NICC and that the community college has saved area families an estimated $1,339,213 in tuition costs.
