The Historic Pella Trust Board spoke at the policy and planning session held by the Pella City Council on the Back to Brick Program. They expressed their concerns with one aspect of the project, which deals with finding bricks to repair or build new brick streets. New bricks aren’t strong enough to be used on roads, and to build brick streets in the Central Business District other brick roads would need to be harvested. One possible plan for this harvesting is W. 1st Street, but the Historic Trust says that street is an important area for historical buildings and homes and should be paired with a brick street.
