Indianola voters approve wellness center
Indianola voters yesterday approved the city’s proposed wellness and recreation center project, with 77 percent voting in favor of a $12.5 million bond issue needed to move forward with the project, the Indianola Record-Herald reported. A 60 percent vote was needed for the bond issue to pass. Unofficial results from the Warren County auditor’s office on Tuesday night included 2,023 “Yes” votes and 615 “No” votes. The facility will be built within the Summercrest Hills development area on the city’s northeast side. The financing will be repaid over time, primarily through tax increment financing and lease payments for 25 years by the YMCA of Greater Des Moines, which will operate the facility.
