During the Kossuth County Board of Supervisors meeting on June 17, 2025, a significant request regarding road construction and right-of-way was discussed. The meeting highlighted a proposal from Hancock County to install an overhead light at an intersection near Corwood. This installation is crucial for enhancing safety at the intersection, which has seen increasing traffic.

To facilitate this project, Midland Power Cooperative will be extending a mile of electrical service to power the new light. The board members unanimously supported the request, indicating a strong commitment to improving infrastructure and safety in the area. A motion was made and seconded, leading to a swift approval without any opposition.

This decision reflects the board's proactive approach to addressing community needs, particularly in terms of road safety and infrastructure development. The installation of the overhead light is expected to benefit local residents and travelers by improving visibility and reducing the risk of accidents at the intersection.

As the board moves forward with this project, it underscores the importance of collaboration between counties and utility providers in enhancing public safety and infrastructure. The next steps will involve finalizing contracts and ensuring that all necessary agreements are in place for the timely execution of the project.
