A committee is being formed that will work on developing a new park in Kalona. Jan Peterseim discussed the idea at Monday’s city council meeting, where members suggested they form a committee.

Peterseim says it would be a memorial park, adding she and Jeannie Jones explored the possibility of installing a veterans memorial in town at first. Peterseim says they’re now looking for community members interested in joining herself, Jones and councilman Greg Schmidt on the committee to assist with the effort. Call Peterseim at (319) 656-2233 for more information.
