Jones County Economic Development - Iowa

Join Jones County Economic Development and Arts Court Visual and Performance to learn more about the work being planned for the old Collins Building.

On Wednesday, September 23rd from 12pm-12:30pm at the Lawrence Community Center in Anamosa, asbestos removal in the building will be discussed. We would love to have the community there so questions can be answered and the project discussed.

This is Phase 1 of a much larger project for the building, but this first step is super exciting!

First responders are so critical to our communities. Many of us know our local first responders incredibly well and know that they are always willing to help our communities and others in need.

So let's celebrate first responders! The Cascade Chamber is hosting a First Responder Summer Bash this month and it's a great way to recognize some area first responders from Cascade!
