(KNZA)--Hiawatha American Legion Post #66 is seeking financial assistance from Brown County for renovations to the front facade of the Legion building in downtown Hiawatha.
Legion Commander Curt Weldon told the Brown County Commission via Zoom Monday that the project would include replacement of the front door, capping of the front windows and replacement of the awning.
Weldon said they obtained two bids for the renovation work---one for just under $6,000 and the other for $6,600.
He said the Legion has been awarded a $2,000 grant to help with the renovations, and the Legion will also contribute $2,000. Weldon said they are asking the county to pay the remainder of the cost.
The Legion owns the building, which the county leases for use as a senior citizens center.
Commissioners tabled a decision until next week. They requested Weldon submit copies of the bids to them before a decision is made.
