Another public/private partnership was kicked off Monday night, one that will benefit not only first time homebuyers in Humboldt County, but throughout Iowa.
Representatives from the Humboldt County Housing Development Corporation (HCHDC) joined representatives from Soyland Homes LLC of Ames to break ground on one of two new single-family homes in the community that will benefit low-to-moderate (LMI) income citizens.
Earlier this winter the Humboldt City Council approved $250,000 from the city’s residential tax increment financing low-to-moderate income housing fund to provide HCHDC for the construction of two single-family residences, one at 901 Taft Street North and the other at 105 8th Street South. Ground was turned on the site of the new home on Taft Street North, across the street to the south from the Hy-Vee grocery store.

Humboldt County Public Health has opened this week’s Pfizer COVID-19 Mass Vaccination Clinic to ANYONE 16 years and older. The clinics will be Wednesday and Thursday, March 31 and April 1 at the Humboldt County Fairgrounds in Humboldt. All Phase 1 vaccinating restrictions have been lifted.

On the day/time of your appointment, please enter through the south gate at the Fairgrounds. We prefer you come from the east (on 6th Ave N) to eliminate a backup of cars on 5th St N if possible. (see map) From this point, you will be guided through the process by our Hospital staff. The process takes approximately 25 minutes once you get your number at the gate. As a reminder, you are required to wait 15 minutes following your injection to ensure you do not have a reaction.
