Sac City, population 2,000, builds on its good bones
|
SAC CITY – This city is home to the World’s Largest Popcorn Ball, but there’s more than that popping in Sac City. The city initiated a successful streetscape project, renovated a former school building into a community center recreation complex and has some rolling North Raccoon River Valley topography that lends itself to some picturesque recreational trails. It is a county-seat community with several agricultural-based industries, some classic older homes and a historic Chautauqua campground featuring the only Chautauqua building left in the state, constructed in 1908. The community also has been able to secure a major grant to study a possible re-use of a building that will no longer house a middle school after this academic year. Sac City is a town that, as the saying goes, has some “good bones” to build on.
