BOONE, Iowa—A week ago it was announced by Boone Mayor John Slight that Fareway Stores, Incorporated had pledged $2-million toward the proposed Recreational Wellness Center in downtown Boone. Thursday, Fareway CEO Reynolds Cramer presented a check representing that pledge to Boone officials. Cramer said the proposed project is a “must do project” which is why Fareway made it’s largest commitment to a community project ever.
The Boone City Council decided last year that any project would need voter approval and scheduled the Special Election for March 1st. The $10-million Bond Issue will need 60% voter approval.
