The city of Marquette is accepting public comments on a recently-completed senior housing feasibility study. Upper Explorerland Regional Planning Commission helped develop the study, which weighs the need for senior housing in the area and examines two potential sites in the community. One site is located on Pleasant Drive, between Gencor and the Mar-Mac Police Department/Marquette City Shop.

The second proposed site is in downtown Marquette, between North and Edgar streets, near the Depot Museum and Information Center.

Elkader plans Inside/Outside Sale-a-bration July 10

Submitted by admin on Tue, 07/07/2020 - 10:22

By Willis Patenaude, Times-Register

In what’s sure to be a boost to the local economy, Elkader’s Inside/Outside Sale-a-bration takes over the town Friday, July 10, from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., and it could net participants some of the $500 in Elkader chamber dollars being given away throughout the day.

If some of this sounds familiar, it should. Sale-a-bration is not a new event, but has been rebranded due, in large part, to the impact of COVID-19 restrictions, unpredictable weather and the decision of the merchants.
