The Pella City Council approved contracts for several projects set to begin in the 2019 construction season.

Assistant City Administrator Corey Goodenow tells KNIA/KRLS News several city streets will be resurfaced by next summer in an effort to extend the effective life and quality of those roads. The contract was awarded to Grimes Asphalt Corporation for just over $928,000.
