This forum will be held on Wednesday, July 20th at 8:00 AM in the lower level of the Mahaska County Environmental Learning Center.
Topics of discussion include, but not limited to the following: General site information, Certified Site status, potential shipping needs including commodity, quantity, site needs, desired footprint, etc., anticipated rail and trucking needs, utility needs, and potential investment commitment.
