“Point, counterpoint.” That’s how Tom Welch, Iowa Department of Transportation project engineer, described the discussion of affected property owners over whether the state should relocate Iowa Highway 149 straight north from the Little Amana interchange or follow the existing W-21 (L) Road. Victor Schaefer … noted reasons given by those in favor of the road (being paved) were that they needed a good road for the church and cemetery. If the state would not pave the road, then the county would have to and they feared the county couldn’t afford to do it. However Larry Huedepohl … repeated his objections: windbreaks and farm outbuildings would have to be taken for right-of-way.
