While the City of Pella is gearing up to start new infrastructure projects this spring, additional initiatives for the upcoming fiscal year will be determined during annual budget workshops.

Pella Mayor Don DeWaard says while reconstruction of the old City Hall alleyway and lining of several sewers in the community are included in the current budget, the council meets each year in February to look at the next fiscal year (which starts in July) and beyond.

DeWaard says while quality of life projects such as the future of the Pella Community Center dominated a lot of the discussion at policy and planning and during the election cycle, infrastructure maintenance and construction remains a key priority for elected officials and city staff and administration.
