Jamey Whitney, Upper Des Moines, appeared before the Board. He stated that he was here to solicit from the Board and put some information and ideas into your minds. He stated his main purpose to be at the meeting was concerning Early Childhood Development in Emmet County, that being Head Start and outreach services. They are trying to find local property off of Central Avenue. They were looking at the Comfortec Building. They submitted a Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), but because they are not committed to property, it is not working at this time. Whitney stated that they are working with the City of Estherville also, but unfortunately are not coming up with the cash flow to do the project.
