Recreational trails are a drawing card for cities trying to attract a young and vibrant workforce. The Humboldt Community Visioning Committee has been working the past nine months to develop enhancements that would improve connections for pedestrians, joggers and bicyclists. Find out more on Sept. 7 from 3-5 p.m. at the Humboldt County ISU Extension Office. Humboldt Independent photo.

Residents of Humboldt will have the opportunity to view the final conceptual landscape designs created through the Community Visioning program, in which Humboldt has been a participant since February.
On Thursday, Sept. 7, from 3-5 p.m., Dylan Jones from Bolton & Menk, Inc., Trees Forever Field Coordinator Patty Reisinger, and Humboldt Community Visioning committee members will be available to answer questions regarding these designs. The viewing is set to take place at ISU Extension and Outreach, during Cy/Hawk day.
Some of the areas that have been addressed in these plans include downtown streetscape improvements, wayfinding signage and pedestrian connections for Humboldt.

Hosting the event will be the Humboldt Dakota City Chamber of Commerce, along with WHO-HD Channel 13, home of RVTV, and the Iowa Corn Growers Cy-Hawk Series.
This will be the second time RVTV has chosen Humboldt as a destination for its TV event, after having a good time in 2015.
