Bellevue, Bellevue Heart & Soul, community development

BELLEVUE, Iowa — Data gathered from surveys, words written on slips of paper and even crowd-sourced songs about the city of Bellevue are being used to chart a course for the town.

“I hope to rejuvenate and enliven and be able to sustain a healthier environment for the years to come,” said Claira Sieverding, a Bellevue resident and volunteer with the effort.

Local residents soon will have the opportunity to hear more about what their fellow community members value about their town. A community event will be held at 5:30 p.m. Oct. 5 at the art gallery at 116 N. Riverview Drive. (full article)
