Tonight’s action reflects a policy decision regarding infrastructure, public safety, Quality of Life, community expectations, economic impact, and the long-term operational needs of the City of Winterset.

This project also reflects an effort to balance those desires with fiscal prudence.

Ultimately, leadership requires balancing today’s concerns with tomorrow’s responsibilities. Communities either stagnate through fear of criticism, or they continue moving forward deliberately, transparently, and responsibly.

Big news, Winterset! 🎉

The Winterset City Council has voted to place Winterset Fieldhouse funding of $𝟏𝟔 𝐌𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐨𝐧 on the November ballot, creating an opportunity for our community to continue the conversation about investing in the future of City of Winterset.

We’re also excited to share that the project cost has been reduced to $𝟏𝟔.𝟒 𝐦𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐨𝐧 and community support continues to grow with $𝟒𝟎𝟎,𝟎𝟎𝟎 𝐚𝐥𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐲 𝐝𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐝!

Thank you to everyone who has shared ideas, asked questions, donated, and stayed engaged throughout this process. Community projects happen through community involvement, and every conversation helps shape the future.

Stay informed, stay involved, and keep an eye out for more updates as we move forward together! 💙
