Possible Futures of Oakville

A meeting between the Oakville Community Vision Committee, the Rebuild Iowa Committee, the Oakville Recovery Task Force, Southeast Iowa Regional Planning and residents on October 23 came up with several proposals for the future of the town. At least four had some possibility of using the family farm.

One proposed the park moved from its present location to the farm.

A second had the land being developed as a commercial area.

The third wanted a convenience store built on the site.

The last developed the property into camp grounds.

Input from the attendees will be used to finalize options to be presented to the community at a November meeting. The land is still scheduled for auction on November 17.
