Terry Redfearn’s bid of $425,000 for the Signode building in West Union has officially been accepted. 

 Redfearn of Hazel Green, Wis., had attended the live auction on Wednesday, May 24, and placed his winning bid. The owner of the building had a week to reject his offer. He will close on the building on June 26. 

 The new building owner plans to use the 36,000-square-foot former manufacturing facility as a warehouse and retail store where he will store and sell fireworks. Redfearn owns Tri-State Fireworks, LLC in Wisconsin, which sells Class C fireworks. However, because the closing date is so close to the Fourth of July, Redfearn won’t be selling fireworks in time for this year’s holiday, but he plans to have the facility operational for 2018.

Caution: Detour Ahead

 

The Iowa DOT will be laying down new asphalt on Hwy. 18 from Dairy Queen through the city limits of West Union this summer. Starting after the Fourth of July, Mathy Construction, which also won the Golden Road project, will mill a portion of the road and then overlay it with asphalt. Traffic will be reduced to one lane when crews are working on the road, but will otherwise be open. Mathy Construction has 60 working days to complete the project. Chris DeBack photo

As with any summer, area residents can expect some detours to crop up this year as the road work season hits full swing. We’re going to take a look ahead at what towns, Fayette County, and the Iowa Department of Transportation (DOT)  have planned for the summer roadwork season. 

West Union will be an area of heavy construction this summer as the DOT redoes Highway 18 starting at Dairy Queen and continues through city limits to the Golden Road intersection. Work will not start until after the Fourth of July.
