Mason City city leaders this week will announce some major financial gifts in the effort to attract a Vision Iowa grant for various Mason City projects. A news conference has been set for Thursday at 5:00 pm at the Mason City Chamber of Commerce offices at 25 W. State Street.

A coalition is working to raise $2.03 million by June 30 in for the community’s Vision Iowa application. The Vision Iowa board requires matching funds to demonstrate financial viability of the proposed $33.6 million project.

Seven projects are included in Mason City’s Vision Iowa proposal: Park Inn Hotel/City National Bank renovation and rehabilitation, Mason City Public library renovation and addition, East Park Performing Arts Pavilion construction, Willow Creek recreational trails and greenway development, Mason City Architectural Interpretive Center construction, Federal Plaza Streetscape renovation and infrastructure replacement, and construction of additional downtown parking.
