The Mitchell County Board of Supervisors has invited citizens to attend a community forum at the Our Savior’s Lutheran Church Fellowship Hall, 833 Ash Street, Osage,

on Thursday, February 16, at 6:30 pm, to discuss the future of our historic courthouse.

As Friends of the Courthouse, we want you to know how tax credits can help meet up to 25% of rehabilitation costs. We hope to see you there.

As Friends of the Courthouse, we value the Mitchell County Courthouse, a building that has served Mitchell County citizens for more than 150 years and is a symbol of our entire county. We request that the Board of Supervisors invest in rehabilitating this building, making sure that the Courthouse has a long and useful future.

Some of the Friends members (as of February 9):

If you’d like to join Friends of the Courthouse, contact Betty McCarthy, Friends President, at mccarthy@osage.net or call 641-832-2224.

Paid for by Friends of the Courthouse, 314 S. 7th Street, Osage, IA 50461, a group dedicated to preserving our historic courthouse, built 154 years ago and the oldest public building still in use in North Iowa.

Mark Your Calendar. Plan to Attend.
