Where did the year 2021 go? Many of us were probably happy to put the year in the rearview mirror and move on from ‘pandemic’ to ‘endemic.’ But on reflection it seems the year passed quickly.
What was accomplished in the past year?
As your Fayette County Board of Supervisors, we were not always solely responsible for some of the projects I’ll list here, but supervisors are tasked with serving on 30 or more boards and committees, linking us to economic development, business enhancement, oversight of government agencies, human services, tourism, etc.

Bike Trail Guide
Through membership on the River Bluffs Scenic Byways board, supervisors learned several Byways are partnering with Iowa Tourism to create a Northeast Iowa Bike Trail guide spanning seven counties. Fayette County Economic Development Director Mallory Hanson reports one of the greatest requests at the county’s booth during the Iowa State Fair — is for bike trail maps. The printed guide will feature 22 trails of designated routes.
