New Hardware Store Helps Fill...

Glenwood-area residents once again have a local hardware store to go to for those fix-it-up and lawn and garden projects around the house.

YMCA Would Likely Manage Aquatic...

If Glenwood residents approve the construction of an outdoor aquatic center in next month’s $4.75 million bond issue election, the new facility would likely be managed by staff from the Mills County YMCA.

“The city council’s perception is that’s probably the best route to go,” city administrator Brian Kissel said. “They (YMCA) already have what they call a CPO – a certified pool operator. If we could take that person and manage the outdoor pool, that person could serve dual purposes.”

Aquatic Center More Than Just A...

It’s not your grandfather’s swimming pool. Or  even your father’s pool, for that matter.

The $4.75 million aquatic center being proposed for Glenwood is a swimming pool and more. Much more.

Yes, the project does include a six-lane, 25-meter competition pool, but there’s also a zero-depth entry children’s play area, a “lily pad” water walk, lazy river, low and high diving boards and sail shades for those who want to soak up the atmosphere without getting a sunburn.
