Preliminary work is being finalized. EXCEL is hoping to go to bids for the construction of eight duplex units and begin construction this Fall.
The build date for the 2023 Ford Explorer Police Cruiser for the Falls City Police Department continues to be delayed. A new, 2022 Explorer became available and the department purchased it in lie of the 2023 model as it was immediately available and at a cost of about $6 thousand less than the 2023 model.
