In The News
July 2022
The Indianola Downtown Square is Open for Business, despite getting some badly needed upgrades so our businesses and residents will have a safe place to gather. The good news is we are on the home stretch. Construction is completed on Buxton, Salem and Howard. Ashland between First Street and B Street will be closed approximately July 11th with a construction goal of being completed by early November.
When you visit our businesses on the Downtown Square, remember that there is on-street and/or public parking lots available just one block off each side of the square. During each Phase of the project certain streets will be closed, but you can still access all of our downtown businesses. Watch for signage to help guide you. Once the roads are completed, the sidewalks will be replaced and you will still have access to your favorite businesses.
Remember, our loyal businesses have supported this community for years, and you can support them by continuing to buy local. Please continue to support them during construction. Follow them on Facebook as they provide you with instructions on how to visit them. If mother nature is kind Phase 3 will be done before we know it.
Businesses around town, too, are Open and ready to serve consumers who are enjoying summer. While workforce continues to be an issue for some businesses, it has gotten a little better. Yet, you still might find yourself standing in lines, have longer than normal waits or slower than normal service. Please continue to have patience and be kind. Instead of complaining, show your appreciation with a smile and some warm thoughts. Those workers and businesses are doing their best to serve you.
Summer is the best, and our events are in full swing and Open for Business. As we move into our event season, I invite you to take advantage of all of our local entertainment. Whether it’s enjoying a world class opera at the Des Moines Metro Opera (July 1 – 24), feasting on a corn dog at the Warren County Fair (July 27-Aug. 1), catching the breathtaking view as hundreds of balloons take to the sky during the National Balloon Classic (July 29-Aug. 6), or watching disc golf pros compete during the TruBank Des Moines Challenge there’s something here, in Indianola, for you.
Perhaps, enjoy an outdoor patio for lunch or dinner with family and friends. Regardless, enjoy your summer right here in Indianola! #ThinkIndianolaFirst
