The City of Sac City has been awarded over $80,000 by the Iowa Department of Natural Resources (DNR) for asbestos removal and deconstruction of a former commercial building in town. The $80,275 grant was awarded through the DNR’s Derelict Building Program, which was created to assist communities with populations under 5,000 to remove environmental hazards, improve community appearance, and minimize costs by recycling and reusing building materials when possible. City officials plan to convert the property on North 5th Street into a trailhead and greenspace to host farmers’ markets.
