The City of Indianola has announced they are not pursuing a bond issue for the fall regarding the City Hall/Public Safety building. The city purchased land on the west side of the downtown Indianola square in April, what is currently occupied by Regents Bank, IMPACT, and Optimae Life Services on the square and the Regents Bank parking lot behind the building, and engaged with architects and a construction manager at-risk as they prepared for the possible bond issue to raise funds for the new building.

New factors including the land swap with the county, where the city gained the the West Annex property on the downtown Indianola square, the Masonic Temple, and five acres on the 6th Street Sub-Area where the former County Shop site was located in exchange for the property holding the Indianola public library, in addition to inflated construction prices, will have the council return to the planning stage.
