Spencer, IA (KICD)– It appears the City of Spencer is starting to make some progress on coming up with a design for the highly publicized North Y Expansion project on the north end of town.

Engineer Jim Thiesse told the City Council on Monday there are still a few loose ends to finish up with on the city end but the infrastructure portion should be able to go to bid very soon.

City Manager Dan Gifford added most of the project has just in a holding pattern surrounding the continued proposal from Kwik Star.

Several council members expressed interest in keeping this project moving quickly and agreed to take up any further issues at an upcoming Committee of the Whole meeting.
