The yacht club committee has raised an estimated $375,000 for construction of the Cherokee City, Iowa building that would replace and relocate the existing flood-damaged yacht club. The city will be responsible for extending utilities, parking and sidewalk improvements estimated at $40,000.
Bids for the proposed Spring Lake Yacht Club in Cherokee City, Iowa, will be opened August 23 while the city council will consider awarding a contract at its August 28 meeting, the Cherokee Chronicle Times reported.
The new facility would replace and relocate the aging, flood-damaged Koser Spring Lake Park Yacht Club. A decision regarding financing for the city’s share of this project will be made soon, administrator Don Eikmeier said.
